Operating Instructions
1. Time and Date Setting
Use the "SET" button to enter time setting mode. Use the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons to adjust values. Press "SET" again to confirm each setting (hour, minute, year, month, day).
2. Temperature Unit Selection (°C/°F)
Press the "°C/°F" button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature displays.
3. Alarm Setting
Press the "ALARM" button to view the current alarm time. Press and hold "ALARM" to enter alarm setting mode. Use "UP" and "DOWN" to adjust the alarm hour and minute. Press "ALARM" to confirm.
4. Wireless Charging
Place your Qi-compatible smartphone on the designated wireless charging pad on the top of the main unit. The charging indicator will illuminate to confirm charging is active.
5. Weather Forecast
The device automatically calculates and displays a weather forecast based on barometric pressure changes. This forecast is an estimation and may not always match local weather reports.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in both the main unit and external sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
- Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
No Outdoor Temperature Reading:
- Ensure the external sensor batteries are correctly installed and not depleted.
- Verify the sensor is within range (up to 100m in open air) and not obstructed by thick walls or metal objects.
- To re-pair: Remove batteries from both units, wait 1 minute, then reinsert batteries into the sensor first, then the main unit. The main unit should search for the sensor.
Inaccurate Readings:
- Ensure the external sensor is placed in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or reflective surfaces.
- Allow up to 30 minutes for readings to stabilize after initial setup or battery replacement.
Wireless Charging Not Working:
- Confirm your smartphone is Qi-compatible.
- Ensure the main unit is powered via the USB cable, not just batteries.
- Remove any thick phone cases that might interfere with wireless charging.
- Center the phone properly on the charging pad.
