Maintenance
1. Watering
Ivy's automated system manages watering based on plant needs. However, ensure the water tank is refilled when indicated by the device's expressions or app notifications. The inner pot has a water reservoir that needs to be filled.

2. Battery Life and Charging
Ivy is designed to be linked to the charging cable continuously for real-time monitoring and optimal plant growth. While it has a built-in battery, continuous power ensures consistent performance. To extend battery life when unplugged, enable "Night Mode + Smart Sleep" settings, which can extend usage to 2-3 days.

3. Plant Care
Regularly check the plant's health through the app. Adjust settings as needed based on the plant's growth stage and environmental conditions. Ensure the plant type selected in the app matches the actual plant for accurate guidance.

Troubleshooting
1. Ivy Cannot Detect the Plant
If Ivy fails to detect the plant, the soil might be too dry. Add water to the water tank and place the plant inside. Wait for at least half an hour for the soil to absorb enough water, then check if detection is successful.
2. Incorrect Water Readings or Freezing Screen
If the device shows incorrect water intake or the screen freezes, try resetting the device. Ensure the inner pot is correctly seated and the water sensor is clear of obstructions. If issues persist, contact customer support.
3. Rapid Battery Drain
Ivy is designed for continuous power. If using it unplugged, battery life may vary. Ensure "Night Mode + Smart Sleep" is enabled to maximize unplugged usage. If the battery drains unusually fast even with these settings, ensure the charging cable is functioning correctly and the device is fully charged before unplugging.
