4.5 Understanding Air Quality Readings
The monitor displays various parameters to give you a comprehensive view of your indoor air quality. Refer to the table below for typical ranges and their corresponding air quality status.
Figure 4.3: Air Quality Scale and Alarm Thresholds.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) | A gas produced by human respiration and combustion. High levels can cause drowsiness and headaches. |
| PM2.5, PM1.0, PM10 (Particulate Matter) | Microscopic solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. PM2.5 and PM1.0 are fine particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs. |
| HCHO (Formaldehyde) | A volatile organic compound (VOC) commonly found in building materials and household products. Can cause respiratory irritation. |
| TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds) | A group of organic chemicals that can easily evaporate into the air. Sources include paints, cleaning supplies, and furnishings. |
| Temperature | Ambient air temperature. |
| Humidity | The amount of water vapor in the air. |
| AQI (Air Quality Index) | A standardized index that indicates the overall air quality based on multiple pollutants. |
4.6 Real-Time AQI Alert Buzzers
The monitor is equipped with 7 distinct alert functions that provide real-time notifications when pollutant levels exceed safe thresholds. The display will also show a color-coded bar (Good, OK, Poor) to visually indicate air quality status.
- When an alert is triggered, an audible buzzer will sound.
- To silence the alarm, press the “Alarm button” (mute button).

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your air quality monitor, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate Readings | Interference from strong odors (perfumes, cleaning products), improper placement, or sensor calibration needed. | Move the device away from sources of strong odors. Ensure proper placement away from drafts. Perform a one-click reset (recalibration). |
| Device Not Powering On | Low battery, charging cable/adapter issue, or device malfunction. | Ensure the device is fully charged. Check if the USB-C cable and charging adapter are properly connected and functional. Try a different power outlet. |
| Alarm Sounds Frequently | High pollutant levels detected, or sensitivity setting. | Check the readings on the display to identify the pollutant. Improve ventilation (e.g., open windows). Press the mute button to silence the alarm temporarily. |
| Display Not Clear/Dim | Brightness setting is too low. | Click the “Brightness button” to adjust to a higher level. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact customer support for further assistance.
