7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance not turning on/off as expected. | Incorrect mode selected (Heat/Cool). Target temperature not set correctly. Remote controller out of range or low battery. | Verify the slide switch is in the correct mode. Adjust the target temperature using the + and - buttons. Move the remote controller closer to the receiver (within 100m/328ft open space). Replace remote batteries. |
| No display on remote controller. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. | Replace batteries with new AAA 1.5V batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Receiver indicator light not on. | Receiver not plugged in or no power to the outlet. | Ensure the receiver is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. Check the circuit breaker. |
| Temperature readings seem inaccurate. | Remote controller placed in an area with drafts, direct sunlight, or near heat sources. | Relocate the remote controller to a more stable temperature environment, away from direct influences. |
