Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No outdoor temperature/humidity reading or '---' displayed. | Sensor out of range, low sensor battery, interference, incorrect channel. | 1. Check and replace sensor batteries. 2. Move sensor closer to the main unit. 3. Ensure no large metal objects or strong electronic signals are between units. 4. Press the CH button on the main unit to ensure it's on the correct channel (Channel 1 for single sensor). |
| Inaccurate outdoor temperature. | Sensor exposed to direct sunlight or heat source. | Relocate the remote sensor to a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or reflective surfaces. |
| Main unit display is blank or dim. | Low main unit battery. | Replace the AAA batteries in the main unit. |
| Readings are inconsistent or fluctuating. | Environmental changes, initial stabilization period. | Allow up to 30 minutes for readings to stabilize after setup or relocation. Ensure stable placement and environment. |
