4. Getting Started: Setup

4.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, connect the M100 Air Station to a power source using the provided USB charging cable. A standard 5V/1A DC power adapter (not included) is recommended. Ensure the device is fully charged for optimal performance, especially if planning to use it without continuous power.

4.2 Initial CO2 Calibration

For accurate CO2 readings, it is recommended to perform an initial calibration. Place the M100 Air Station outdoors in a well-ventilated area for approximately 7 hours. This allows the CO2 sensor to establish a baseline with ambient outdoor CO2 levels, which are typically around 400 ppm.

4.3 Connecting to Wi-Fi and Mobile Application

Download the Temtop App: Search for 'Temtop' in your device's app store (available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store).
Register/Log In: Open the app and follow the prompts to create an account or log in.
Add Device: Within the app, select the option to add a new device. The app will guide you through connecting the M100 Air Station via Bluetooth initially, then configuring its Wi-Fi connection (supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks).
Network Compatibility: While the device supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, some 5GHz bands may have compatibility issues. If you encounter connection problems, try connecting to a 2.4GHz network.

4.4 Display Settings

Adjust Brightness: Single-click the ON/OFF button on the device to cycle through the three available brightness models for the screen.
Switch Temperature Units: Long-press the setting button on the device to toggle the temperature display between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

5. Operating Your Air Station

5.1 Understanding the Display

The M100 Air Station's large LCD screen provides real-time readings for all monitored parameters:

PM2.5 & PM10: Displays particulate matter concentrations in µg/m³.
AQI: Air Quality Index, a numerical value indicating overall air quality.
CO2: Carbon Dioxide concentration in PPM (parts per million).
Temperature & Humidity: Current ambient temperature and relative humidity.
Weather Forecast: Provides a basic weather forecast.
Date & Time: Current date and time.

The display uses color-coded indicators for AQI and CO2 to quickly convey air quality status:

AQI: 6 color levels ranging from Good to Hazardous.
CO2: 3 color levels indicating Good, Moderate, or Poor concentration.

5.2 Using the Mobile Application

The Temtop mobile application enhances the functionality of your M100 Air Station:

Real-time Monitoring: View all sensor readings remotely.
History Data: Access and review historical air quality data.
Data Export: Download monitoring history via the app or USB cable for further analysis.
Settings: Adjust device settings, such as logging frequency.

6. Understanding Air Quality Readings

The M100 Air Station measures several key air quality parameters:

PM2.5 (Particulate Matter 2.5): Refers to fine inhalable particles with diameters generally 2.5 micrometers and smaller. These particles can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract.
PM10 (Particulate Matter 10): Refers to inhalable particles with diameters generally 10 micrometers and smaller.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide): A gas naturally present in the atmosphere. Elevated indoor CO2 levels can indicate poor ventilation and may lead to drowsiness or reduced cognitive function.
AQI (Air Quality Index): A standardized index used to report daily air quality. It indicates how clean or polluted the air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Temtop M100 Air Station, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Cleaning: Gently wipe the device's screen and body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spraying liquids directly onto the device.
Sensor Care: Do not attempt to clean the internal sensors. Exposure to dust and debris should be minimized.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your M100 Air Station, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Short Battery Life: The M100 Air Station is designed for continuous monitoring and is best used when connected to a power source. If operating on battery, expect a limited duration (e.g., 1-3 hours). For prolonged use, keep the device plugged in.
Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues: If the Wi-Fi icon blinks or the device frequently disconnects, ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable. Try restarting your router and the M100. If using a dual-band router, attempt to connect to the 2.4GHz band as it often provides a more stable connection for smart home devices.
App Displaying Incorrect Temperature Units: If the app's main screen shows Celsius while the device or detailed app view is set to Fahrenheit, this may be a known app display bug. Refer to the detailed device view within the app for accurate unit display. Ensure your app is updated to the latest version.
Device Not Powering On with USB-C to USB-C Cable: The M100 Air Station may require a USB-A to USB-C cable for charging, such as the one provided. If using a USB-C to USB-C cable, ensure it is compatible and provides sufficient power. It is recommended to use the included charging cable.
Inaccurate CO2 Readings: Ensure the initial CO2 calibration was performed outdoors in fresh air. If readings seem consistently off, repeat the outdoor calibration process.
