6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your RichBird Smart Hummingbird Feeder, consider the following:

• No Power/Charging: Ensure the solar panel is positioned in direct sunlight for optimal charging. Check the connection between the solar panel and the camera. If necessary, charge the camera directly using the provided USB-C cable.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Verify that your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz, as the feeder only supports this frequency. Ensure the feeder is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart the camera and your router if connection persists.
• App Connectivity: Make sure the COOLFLY app is updated to the latest version. Check your smartphone's internet connection.
• Motion Detection Not Triggering: Adjust the motion detection sensitivity settings within the COOLFLY app. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the camera's view.
• Poor Video Quality: Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength in the app.
• Hummingbirds Not Visiting: Ensure the nectar is fresh and the feeder is clean. Position the feeder in a visible, safe location away from predators.
