7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display on main unit. | No power or low batteries. | Ensure AC adapter is properly connected or replace batteries. |
| Outdoor readings are inaccurate or not displayed. | Sensor out of range, interference, or low sensor batteries. | Move sensor closer to main unit, reduce obstructions, or replace sensor batteries. |
| Weather forecast seems incorrect. | The forecast is based on atmospheric pressure changes and is an estimation. | Allow time for the station to calibrate (up to 24 hours). It provides a general trend, not a precise forecast. |
