Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Bluetooth connection
Your device is compatible but you can not connect?
- Make sure BT (Bluetooth) mode is running on your smartphone, Tablet or PC.
- Make sure the Weatherdot is not on Off mode. It is in Off mode when the unit does not have sufficient battery level.
- Make sure no other device is linked to your Weatherdot. Each unit can only be connected to a single device at a time. As soon as it gets disconnected, the Weatherdot is ready to link to any other device with the Anemotracker app installed and actively searching for available Weatherdots to connect to.
Troubleshooting Sensor Accuracy
If the Weatherdot is not spun, it will still give temperature, pressure and
humidity, but it will not be as accurate.
- Please make sure to spin the Weatherdot for 80 seconds.
- Make sure no debris is around or near the sensors.
If the problem persists, please contact Calypso Technical Support at [email protected].
