Проблемаларды чечүү
| Көйгөй | Мүмкүн чечим |
|---|---|
| "Unable to detect...please relocate" message | This message indicates potential electromagnetic interference. Move the detector away from other electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, computers, TVs) or large metal objects. Sometimes simply holding the device and moving slightly can resolve this. |
| No lightning detected during a storm | Ensure the device has fresh batteries. Verify there are no strong sources of interference nearby. The detection range is up to 25 miles; lightning outside this range will not be detected. |
| False lightning alerts | While the device has enhanced interference rejection, strong electromagnetic fields from certain appliances or power lines can occasionally cause false alerts. Try relocating the device. |
