4. Maintenance
4.1 Battery Replacement
- Main Unit: If using backup batteries, replace them when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
- Remote Sensors: Replace AA batteries in the remote sensors when their respective low battery indicators appear on the main unit's display.
4.2 Cleaning
Wipe the weather station and sensors with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquid enters the device openings.
4.3 Environmental Considerations
To ensure longevity and accurate readings, avoid exposing the main unit to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity. Remote sensors should be placed in locations protected from direct weather elements like heavy rain or snow, while still allowing for proper air circulation.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display on main unit | Power adapter not connected; backup batteries dead or incorrectly inserted. | Ensure DC adapter is securely plugged in. Check and replace backup batteries if necessary, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Outdoor temperature/humidity not displayed or inaccurate | Sensor out of range; sensor batteries dead; interference; sensor not paired. | Move sensor closer to the main unit. Replace sensor batteries. Avoid placing near large metal objects or electronics. Re-pair the sensor (see Section 2.4). |
| Weather forecast inaccurate | Weather station needs time to learn local barometric pressure patterns. | Allow 7-14 days for the weather station to calibrate and provide more accurate forecasts. Forecasts are based on barometric pressure changes, not external weather services. |
| Time/Date incorrect | Not set correctly; power interruption. | Manually set the time and date (refer to manual). Ensure backup batteries are installed for power outage protection. |
