The device is equipped with multiple high-precision sensors for accurate measurements:

• NDIR Infrared Carbon Dioxide Sensor
• Laser Particle Sensor
• Semiconductor Sensor
• Photoelectric Sensor
• Temperature and Humidity Sensor

Setup

Initial Charge

Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged using the provided Type-C cable. A full charge typically takes approximately 6 hours and provides 11-12 hours of continuous use.

Power On/Off

To power on the device, press and hold the multi-function button (center button) until the screen illuminates. To power off, press and hold the same button until the screen turns off.

CO2 Calibration

For accurate CO2 readings, it is recommended to perform a calibration:

1. Charge the device for at least 5 minutes before its first use.
2. Place the monitor in a well-ventilated area with the power on for more than 10 minutes.
3. Enter the calibration interface (refer to 'Control Buttons' section for accessing settings) and select "Yes" for calibration. The calibration will complete with a long beep from the buzzer.

Operating Instructions

Understanding the Display

The LCD screen provides real-time data for all 11 parameters. Each parameter is displayed with its current value and a color-coded indicator for air quality status.

Image: A reference table detailing the ranges for AQI, PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, HCHO, and TVOC, categorized into Good (Green), Moderate (Yellow), Poor (Orange), and Unhealthy (Red) levels.

The color of the icon corresponding to a single gas changes based on its concentration:

• Green: Good air quality.
• Yellow: Moderate pollution.
• Orange: Poor air quality.
• Red: Unhealthy/Abnormal levels.

Switching Display Views

To view different sets of measurement values, single press the Left or Right button. This allows you to cycle through various parameter displays, such as switching between PM2.5, Particles, and TVOC, or HCHO, PM1.0, and PM10.

Alert System

When any measured value exceeds its predefined normal threshold, the device will activate an alert:

• An audible ticking sound will be emitted.
• The alert indicator light will flash continuously.
• The interface color for the exceeded parameter will change to red.

Default alert thresholds are:

• AQI alert: 100
• CO2 alert: 1500 PPM
• PM1.0 alert: 75 µg/m³
• PM2.5 alert: 75 µg/m³
• PM10 alert: 150 µg/m³
• HCHO alert: 0.1 mg/m³
• TVOC alert: 0.5 mg/m³

Maintenance

Charging the Device

The monitor is equipped with a 2500mAh battery and a Type-C charging port. Connect the provided Type-C cable to the device and a suitable USB power source for charging. Charging time is approximately 6 hours for a full charge, providing 11-12 hours of continuous operation.

Care and Precautions

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your air quality monitor, observe the following precautions:

• Prevent Soaking: Do not place the device in bathrooms or areas where it may be drenched by water.
• Prevent Strong Vibration: Avoid strong shocks or vibrations, such as dropping the device on the floor.
• Stay Away from Volatile Substances: Do not place the product near volatile substances like perfume, alcohol, or mosquito coils, as these can interfere with readings.
• Prevent Inserting Objects into Gas Sampling Ports: Do not insert sharp, flammable, or metal objects into the monitor or air inlet to avoid short-circuiting, which could result in electric shock or burns.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LifeBasis Air Quality Monitor, consider the following common solutions:

• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the device has been properly calibrated, especially for CO2. Move the device to a well-ventilated area for a few minutes and re-check readings. Avoid placing it near sources of strong odors or chemicals.
• Device Not Turning On: Check if the battery is charged. Connect the device to the Type-C charger and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again.
• Screen Not Responding: Try restarting the device by holding down the multi-function button. If unresponsive, allow the battery to fully discharge and then recharge it.
• No Audible Alerts: Check if the sound is enabled by pressing and holding the Left button.
