Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature reading appears inaccurate. | The thermometer measures temperature at approximately 5 inches below the surface, which may differ from deeper water temperatures. | Ensure the sensor is fully submerged. Compare with another thermometer if precise deep-water readings are critical. Note that surface temperature can fluctuate more rapidly. |
| Lights are dim or not turning on. | Low battery charge. Insufficient solar exposure. Remote control battery low or out of range. | Charge the thermometer via USB for 1-3 hours. Ensure the solar panel is clean and exposed to direct sunlight. Replace remote control batteries. Move closer to the thermometer with the remote. |
| Thermometer not charging via solar. | Solar panel is dirty or obstructed. Insufficient sunlight. | Clean the solar panel. Ensure the thermometer is placed in an area with direct sunlight for several hours daily. Use USB charging as an alternative. |
| Remote control not responding. | Remote control batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. Out of range. Interference. | Replace AAA batteries in the remote control, ensuring correct polarity. Move closer to the thermometer (within 650ft). Ensure no major obstructions between remote and thermometer. |
