Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No outdoor temperature/humidity reading | Sensor not paired or out of range; low sensor battery. | Ensure sensor is within 330ft of the main unit. Replace sensor batteries. Press and hold 'CHANNEL' button on main unit to re-synchronize. |
| Inaccurate readings | Sensor exposed to direct sunlight/rain; unit near heat sources. | Relocate outdoor sensor to a shaded, protected area. Move main unit away from direct heat or cold sources. |
| Time is incorrect or resets | Poor DCF signal reception; manual setting error. | Ensure the unit is placed away from electronic interference. Manually set the time if DCF signal is consistently weak. |
| Display is dim or hard to read | Backlight setting is too low; viewing angle. | Adjust the backlight brightness using the dedicated button. Adjust the viewing angle for better clarity. |
