Sensor icons

Radon – Decrease exposure to this radioactive gas that accumulates in buildings and homes. It is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers but can be managed with continuous monitoring.
Temperature – Indoor temperatures can affect performance, mood and comfort level. Individual sleep patterns are also affected by indoor air temperature.
Humidity – Too much or too little humidity can affect allergies and cold or flu symptoms. When humidity levels are high, mold and rot can occur. Low humidity levels cause static electricity, dry skin and hair, and increased susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness.

Troubleshooting

First and foremost, always make sure that you have updated to the latest device software

In the device settings menu, click update device.

Not able to connect to my device

Make sure you have the detector within the range of 5 meters or 15 feet.
Check if Bluetooth is turned on.
Check if the power indicator is blinking.

Need to turn on the audio alert

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

My app is not updated when running in background mode

Open your phone settings and verify that the Airthings Wave app is running in the background. You can usually find this in the app manager section of your phone settings.
Make sure you are in Bluetooth range periodically.

No response from glow ring

Check if the power indicator is blinking.
If the power indicator is blinking red, or not blinking at all, the battery level is low.
First, sync your data and then replace the batteries. We recommend AA alkaline (LR6).
