If it is not the first use, the base station will switch to the normal mode, detecting the current temperature, and humidity. However, because Wi-Fi mode is not set up, the network weather forecast information cannot be obtained, and the air pressure, weather forecast and temperature forecast will not be displayed. In this case, when the “WiFi” button is held for more than 3 seconds, the base station will automatically enter the AP (AutoPairing) mode.
Go back to the APP and confirm your current location.
Select W003 as connection method.
