Maintenance
Battery Replacement
For the display unit, replace the 3 AAA backup batteries annually or when the low battery indicator appears. For the outdoor sensor, refer to its specific instruction manual for battery replacement guidelines.
Cleaning
Wipe the display screen and casing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the screen or damage the finish. Regularly check the outdoor sensor for debris (e.g., leaves, insects) that might obstruct its rain collection funnel or wind sensors.
Troubleshooting
- No Outdoor Sensor Data: Ensure the outdoor sensor has fresh batteries and is within range of the display unit. Check for any obstructions between the sensor and display.
- Inaccurate Readings: Verify that the outdoor sensor is mounted in an open area, away from heat sources or obstructions that could affect wind or rain measurements. Ensure the display's barometer is properly calibrated (refer to the full manual for calibration steps).
- Display Not Powering On: Check if the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the wall outlet and the display unit. Ensure backup batteries are correctly installed.
