1. Recent data backup will be saved when the batteries of the main station are installed. When you unplug the adapter, the storage setting value will not be deleted.
2. Do not move the main station or the outdoor sensors during the signal connection and reception process.
3. The sensors must be set up within a maximum of 100m from the main station with no obstacles.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Signal Connection Issues
If the main station does not receive an outdoor sensor signal within 3 minutes, it will stop searching. The symbol (20) will disappear, and the corresponding channel will show values of “–%” and “–.-℃”.
To re-connect the signal of a sensor, follow these steps:

1. Check the batteries of the sensor. If they are drained or weak, replace them with new ones. Alternatively, you can remove and reinsert the batteries.
2. Move the sensor closer to the main station.
3. Press and hold the corresponding “ROOM” button (34/35/36) for a few seconds until the symbol starts blinking again. The main station will start searching for the outdoor sensor signal, regardless of whether the signal from the outdoor sensor was received or not.

If the values displayed on the main station and the sensors are different, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot:

1. Remove the batteries from the corresponding sensor.
2. Press and hold the corresponding “ROOM1/2/3” button on the back of the main station until the signal reception icon (20) starts blinking.
3. Press and hold the corresponding “ROOM1/2/3” button (34/35/36) again until the value for the corresponding sensor disappears from the display.
4. Install new batteries in the corresponding sensor and press the “TX” button above the battery compartment.

Note: If the sensor value still does not appear on the main station, repeat the above steps 2-3 times or move the sensor closer to the main station.

RCC Signal Reception Issue
The automatic clock signal reception function (radio control) of the product may be affected by interference from signals in the end user’s surrounding environment as well as too far from the signal transmission tower, which may result in not receiving the signal and unable to automatically adjust the time. In this case, the user needs to manually follow the steps in the instruction manual to set the clock and date.
Several factors can interfere with the reception of the RCC signal:

1. Devices such as computers, telephones, radios, and televisions can emit electromagnetic radiation that may affect signal reception.
2. Structural factors, such as reinforced concrete walls, thick brickwork, or long distances between units, can also interfere with signal reception. Strong building insulation (such as metal building materials), nearby mountains, or atmospheric interference can also be factors.
3. Low temperatures (below 0℃) can negatively impact the battery performance of the outdoor sensor, thus affecting wireless transmission..

Manually Activating RCC Signal Reception
RCC radio signal reception can be restarted manually by pressing and holding the “ ” button (32) for seconds until the radio tower symbol start blinking on the display and  the main station will start searching the RCC radio signal. If reception fails, the radio tower symbol (5 ) will disappear.

Switch on/off the Automatically WWVB Radio Signal Reception
The main station will attempt to receive the WWVB radio signal at 01:00, 02:00 and 03:00 every day. If the radio signal reception remains unsuccessful, the main station will attempt to receive the signal again at 04:00 and 05:00, and correct the time automatically if reception is successful. If you don’t need this function, press and hold the “ ” button (33) and “ ” button
(32) together for seconds to turn it off, until only the radio wave symbol display permanently. The main station will no longer search and receive the WWVB radio signal. It can be turned back on by once again pressing and holding the “  ” button (33) and “ ” button (32) together for seconds, until the radio wave symbol disappears.
