- If the unit will not be used for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage.
- Ensure the remote sensor is kept away from direct moisture and extreme temperatures for optimal performance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| No display on main unit. | Check battery installation and polarity. Ensure USB cable is securely connected if using USB power. Replace batteries if low. |
| Outdoor temperature/humidity not displayed. | Ensure remote sensor batteries are installed correctly and not depleted. Press and hold "SET/CH" on the main unit to re-initiate sensor search. Reduce distance between main unit and sensor, or remove obstructions. Check the channel setting on the remote sensor. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Ensure both units are placed away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or strong drafts. Allow units to stabilize for 15-30 minutes after initial setup or relocation. |
| Backlight not staying on. | When operating on batteries, the backlight is designed to turn off after 10 seconds to conserve power. For continuous backlight, use the USB power cable. |
