Operating Instructions
Understanding the Display
The monitor's LCD screen displays real-time readings for all detected parameters. The main screen typically shows CO2, PM2.5, HCHO, TVOC, Temperature, and Humidity.

AQI Stages and Alarm
The device categorizes air quality into three stages based on gas concentration:
- Green: Safe
- Orange: Poor
- Red: Unhealthy
When the gas concentration exceeds a preset alarm value (typically set to the 'Orange' level), the device will emit an audible alarm to notify you. You can adjust alarm settings via the mobile application.

Switching Display Modes
The device allows you to switch between displaying HCHO/TVOC and PM1.0/PM10 readings. Press the multifunction button (usually the power button) to toggle between these views.

Automatic Brightness Adjustment
The screen brightness automatically adjusts based on the surrounding environment's light levels. This feature aims to ensure the display is visible without being overly bright or dazzling.

Screen Off to Save Energy
To conserve energy, the screen can automatically turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity (this timeout can be set in the app). To wake the screen, simply wave your hand in front of the device. Even with the screen off, the monitor continues to transmit data to the app via Wi-Fi.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your air quality monitor, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Placement: Place the monitor in a stable location, away from direct sunlight, strong drafts, and sources of extreme temperature or humidity.
- Automatic Calibration: The device features automatic calibration for its sensors, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
- Sensor Protection: Avoid obstructing the sensor vents on the device.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Short Battery Life / Device Dies Quickly | The device's internal battery is primarily for portability and short-term use. Continuous monitoring requires a constant power supply. | Keep the device plugged in via the Type-C cable for continuous operation and accurate readings. The battery is designed for approximately 1 hour of use on a full charge. |
| Screen is too dim or unreadable | The automatic brightness adjustment feature may dim the screen excessively in certain lighting conditions. | Ensure the device is not placed in an area with very low ambient light that might trigger extreme dimming. There is no manual brightness control on the device itself; check the app for any related display settings. |
| Device disconnects from app frequently | Unstable Wi-Fi connection or interference. | Ensure the device is within range of a strong 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. Restart your Wi-Fi router and the air quality monitor. Re-pair the device with the app if necessary. |
| Sensor readings appear inaccurate or stuck at zero | Sensor malfunction or environmental factors affecting readings. | Ensure the device is placed in a well-ventilated area for initial calibration. If the issue persists after restarting the device and ensuring proper placement, the sensor may be faulty. Contact customer support for assistance. |
