Introduction

Congratulations on taking this step towards a healthier life. By tracking radon levels, you can make informed decisions about your living spaces. Reducing radon exposure lowers the risk of lung cancer. The Airthings Wave provides detailed information on radon, temperature, and humidity via your phone, the Airthings Dashboard, or by waving in front of the device for a quick visual indication. The Airthings Wave 2nd gen connects via Bluetooth or uses Airthings SmartLink with the Hub for extended range and live updates.

Breathe better, live better.

Sensor Icons and Information

Radon:

[Radon Symbol] Radon is a radioactive gas that accumulates in buildings and homes. It is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and can be managed with continuous monitoring.

Temperature:

[Temperature Symbol] Indoor temperatures affect performance, mood, and comfort. Individual sleep patterns are also influenced by indoor air temperature.

Humidity:

[Humidity Symbol] Too much or too little humidity can affect allergies and cold/flu symptoms. High humidity can lead to mold and rot. Low humidity causes static electricity, dry skin/hair, and increased susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness.

Troubleshooting

Software Updates:

Ensure your device software is up to date. In the device settings menu, select "Update device."

Connection Issues:

Not able to connect to my device:

• Ensure the detector is within 5 meters (15 feet) range.
• Check if [Bluetooth] is turned on.
• Verify the power indicator is blinking.

Audio Alerts:

Need to turn on the audio alert:

• In the app, go to device settings and update radon alarm settings.
• Wave in front of the detector to snooze alerts for 1 month when active.

App Not Updated in Background:

• Open your phone's settings and verify the Airthings Wave app is running in the background (check app manager settings).
• Ensure you are periodically within [Bluetooth] range.

No Response from Glow Ring:

• Check if the power indicator is blinking.
• If the power indicator is blinking red or is off, the battery level is low. Sync your data and replace batteries with AA alkaline (LR6) ?.
