Important Notes
Placing your uHoo Smart Air Monitor uHoo can work anywhere indoors. However, there are some best practices to take note of to ensure that you get the most accurate readings.

• Place your uHoo on a table or shelf approximately 0.9 meters (~3 feet) to 1.8 meters (~6 feet) above the floor.
• Keep your uHoo 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) away from any wall or structure.
• Avoid placing the uHoo near devices and appliances that influence the air such as air conditioners, fans,heaters, televisions, stoves, ovens, and desktop or laptop computers as these will potentially affect the readings. Don’t place your uHoo Smart Air Monitor beside an open window.
• We recommend leaving your uHoo in the room where you spend most of your time in. This can be the bedroom, kid’s room, living room, or kitchen.

Warmup and Auto-calibration

uHoo sensors need time to warm up after setup. This warm-up needs to be conducted only once.
The carbon dioxide (CO2} sensor requires at least 48 hours of continuous and uninterrupted use for it to complete the warm up.
The voe, nitrogen dioxide (N02} and ozone (03} sensors require at least 24 hours of continuous and uninterrupted use.
If the warm-up is interrupted (device disconnected from your Wi-Fi network, device turned off), the warm-up will restart from the beginning and will need another 48 hours or 24 hours, depending on which sensor.
During the warm-up period, the readings will fluctuate and you can ignore the data. Once the warm-up is completed, your readings will automatically adjust.

Your uHoo Smart Air Monitor device needs to be plugged into a power source and connected to your Wi-Fi network at all times.

uHoo regularly calibrates its sensors to ensure its long-term performance.
Powering off the device and moving it to a different location would interrupt the regular calibration cycle of the sensors and may affect the accuracy once you power it on. The device would need to go through a few calibration cycles to regain its accuracy after you power the device back on.
