AIRTHINGS View Plus Complete Indoor Air Quality Monitor

Introduction

Congratulations on taking this important step toward living a healthier life.
By keeping track of your indoor air quality and radon levels, you can make healthier decisions in the spaces where you spend most of your time. Increased productivity and energy levels, better quality sleep, and resistance to illness are just a few of the benefits. Lessening your exposure to radon will reduce your risk of lung cancer.
The Airthings View Plus provides you with detailed information about Particulate Matter, Radon, Airborne chemicals, CO , Temperature, Humidity and Air Pressure levels on the display, your phone,
Airthings Dashboard or simply wave in front of the device for a visual indication of your overall indoor air quality. Breathe better, live better,

VIEW PLUS SETUP

Step 1 – Download the Airthings App
Download or update the Airthings App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and create an account.
Step 2 – Setup
Pull the battery tab on the device and follow the in-app instructions to connect the device to your smartphone and your Wi-Fi® or Smartlink network. You can also power your device using the supplied USB cable. There may be a firmware update when you start the device.
Note: You can leave the batteries in when powering over USB, but the batteries will not be recharged. Your View Plus will automatically swap between battery power and USB power.
Step 3 – Placement
Your View Plus can be placed wherever you want to measure your air quality, such as your night stand, on the wall in the baby room, on a shelf in the living room. It should be kept away from very dusty environments, and performs best if cleaned with a dry or damp cloth once in a while.
Step 4 – Calibration
The radon, CO₂, and VOC sensors will need time, usually around a week, to calibrate after power-up. See more details in the View Plus Product Sheet.
To mount your View Plus on a wall: Fix the mounting bracket to the wall. Make sure you use appropriate screws for your wall type. Do not place it close to vents or windows. Minimum 1 meter / 3 feet distance

DAILY USE

Configurable Display

The display can be configured to show the sensor values you care most about.
Configuration is done in the Airthings dashboard or app. The display will update every 2.5 minutes, depending on sensor sample interval and the sensors shown on the display. It will sometimes flicker completely to refresh itself. This is normal and does not mean your device is operating incorrectly.
Note: The Calm Tech e-paper display does not require power to show an image. If your View Plus suddenly loses power, for example if the USB connector is removed and there are no batteries in the compartment, then the display will simply keep displaying whatever image it had when loss of power occurred. The display will update as normal when power is restored to the product.

Wave function

Wave in front of your device for a quick visual indication of your indoor air quality levels. The glow signal will light up according to the overall air quality (green means good, yellow means fair, and red means poor), and the display will change to show any levels that are fair or poor.
For details on sensor thresholds go to airthings.com/view- plu

Airthings App

Your app will update automatically as long as your View Plus is connected to a Wi-Fi or Smartlink network. The Airthings App includes sensor values, historical graphs, and long and short-term averages. Use the app to configure your View Plus, setting sensor sample intervals, set up notifications based on sensor values, and more.

Airthings Dashboard
The Airthings web dashboard lets you view, customize and analyze the sensor data from all of your devices at a glance. You ’ll also have access to trends and advanced analytics. Find out more at https://www.airthings.com/en/dashboard
