- Cleaning: Wipe the display and sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals.
- Sensor Care: Periodically check the outdoor sensor for debris or moisture accumulation, especially in the battery compartment. Ensure it remains dry and protected from extreme weather.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| No outdoor temperature/humidity reading. | Ensure batteries are correctly installed in the outdoor sensor. Press and hold the "CHANNEL" button on the main unit to re-establish connection. Move sensor closer to the main unit. |
