5. Setup
- Charging: Before first use, fully charge the device using the provided USB power cable. Connect the cable to the device's USB port and a compatible 5V USB power adapter (not included). The battery indicator on the screen will show charging status.
- Placement: Place the monitor in the desired location, ensuring proper airflow around the device for accurate readings. Avoid placing it near vents, windows, or direct heat sources.
6. Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Long press the power button (usually located on the side or front) to turn the device on. Long press again to turn it off.
- Initial Calibration: Upon powering on, the device may undergo an initial calibration period. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the sensors to stabilize and provide accurate readings.
- Real-time Monitoring: The LCD color screen will display real-time measurements for CO2, HCHO, TVOC, PM2.5, temperature, and humidity.
- Alert Mode: The device features an alert mode where the screen color changes to indicate different levels of air pollution, providing a visual warning.
7. Understanding Air Quality Readings
The monitor uses a color-coded system to help interpret air quality levels:
