Operating Instructions

Display and Brightness

The Raddy WM6 features a clear display with adjustable brightness levels. You can customize the brightness to suit your environment and conserve battery life.

Manual Brightness Adjustment: Use the dedicated button (usually on top or back) to cycle through brightness levels (e.g., OFF, 1%, 60%, 100%).
Scheduled Brightness: The unit allows you to pre-set specific brightness levels for different times of the day (e.g., 60% brightness from 08:00 to 18:00, and OFF from 18:00 to 23:00 to save power). Refer to the detailed settings menu for configuration.

Dual Alarm Clock: Set two independent alarms, which can be configured for weekdays, weekends, or daily.
Snooze Function: Activate the snooze function by pressing the designated button when an alarm sounds.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
No outdoor temperature/humidity reading.	Ensure the outdoor sensor is within range (330ft/100m) and has fresh batteries (if applicable). Re-synchronize the sensor with the main unit (refer to manual for specific steps). Check for strong interference sources (e.g., large metal objects, other wireless devices).
Time is incorrect.	Ensure the unit is receiving the WWVB atomic clock signal. Place it near a window if possible. Allow time for synchronization (can take several hours, especially after initial setup or power loss). Manually set the time if atomic clock signal is consistently unavailable.
Display is dim or blank.	Check battery level and charge the unit using the power adapter. Adjust brightness settings. The display might be set to a low brightness level or OFF during certain hours.
Inaccurate weather forecast.	Weather forecasts are based on barometric pressure trends and are predictions, not guarantees. Ensure the unit has been operating continuously for at least 24 hours to establish a baseline.
