#Manual February 27

At some point we all have done it. We purchase an item and it stops working for whatever reason. Then we want to determine if can be fixed or reset. We hunt in drawers and storage spaces to see if we kept the owners MANUAL. The problem gets worse because we determine its lost or discarded.
Often times when a device is malfunctioning all we need to understand is how to reset the device. This often happens when the power is interrupted or batteries reach the end of their life cycle.
Having the owners MANUAL is very important to make that quick fix. Manufacturers often will post MANUALS on their websites—sometimes readable online, sometimes downloadable as a PDF. One important piece of info is determining what device you actually have. That means you’ll need the brand name and model number at least.
I own a Acu-Rite weather station. It tells me the temperature and humidity both indoor and outdoors.
Last week the batteries died and I needed to reset it. I found the Model # on the back of the weather station it was Model# 00609SBDIA3 and did an internet search. It didn’t take long for me to find the correct manual. I found the section on setting it up and I am up recording temperature and humidity.
When you combine the correct owner’s MANUALS with a “How To” YouTube video you might surprise yourself what you can fix. The right info can make all of us a little better at “Do It Yourself’ repairs.
Here are some links to help you search for owners MANUALS
Once you have the correct MANUAL you may be able to salvage a device. Don’t rush to throw it away.
When our life becomes broken or needs a reset there are MANUALS that can assist. My personal MANUAL is the Bible.
