What causes the Ideal Halo screen shows Replace Halo fault?

This message occurs when the thermostat loses its digital connection to the receiver or hasn't had its initial setup completed. It physically means the handheld unit and the boiler interface are no longer talking to each other, preventing the thermostat from sending temperature commands to the boiler. This is usually caused by a recent power cut, depleted batteries, or the device being moved too far from the boiler's wireless range.
