Ukuxazulula inkinga
| Inkinga | Imbangela Engenzeka | Isixazululo |
|---|---|---|
| Idivayisi ayivuli. | Ibhethri lifile noma lifakwe ngokungalungile. | Check battery installation; replace with a new 9V battery if necessary. |
| Inaccurate or fluctuating readings. | Probe is not fully inserted or is dirty; soil is too dry or too wet. | Ensure probe is inserted to 2/3 depth; clean probe thoroughly; ensure soil has adequate moisture for accurate readings. |
| Isibonisi sifiphele. | Ibhethri eliphansi. | Faka esikhundleni sebhethri le-9V. |
| Automatic shutdown occurs too quickly. | Normal operation (15 minutes of inactivity). | This is a power-saving feature. Turn the device back on if further use is required. |
