- Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display on main unit. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted; Type-C cable not connected or faulty. | Check battery polarity and replace if necessary. Ensure Type-C cable is securely connected to a working power source. |
| Outdoor readings not displayed or inaccurate. | Outdoor sensor batteries are dead; sensor is out of range; interference; sensor not paired. | Replace outdoor sensor batteries. Move sensor closer to the main unit. Avoid placing near large metal objects or electronics. Restart both units to re-establish connection. |
| Inaccurate temperature/humidity readings. | Sensor exposed to direct sunlight, heat sources, or moisture; unit placed near drafts. | Relocate the sensor to a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct weather elements and heat sources. Ensure main unit is not near windows or vents. |
| Weather forecast does not match local conditions. | Weather forecast is based on atmospheric pressure changes over 12-24 hours, not real-time satellite data. | This is normal. The forecast is an estimation based on internal barometric pressure changes and may not always perfectly align with official forecasts. |
