FAQs

How often does the Airthings Wave Radon take readings?

The Airthings Wave Radon takes hourly measurements of radon, humidity, and temperature. Radon data is averaged over a specific period to provide stable and reliable readings in the app.

How long does it take to get the first radon reading?

You can typically get your first indication of radon levels within 24 hours of setting up the device.

Do I need a subscription or lab fees?

No, the Airthings Wave Radon does not require any lab fees. The basic app functions are free, and there are no subscription costs for essential features like viewing current readings and trends.

What is the battery life of the Wave Radon?

The device is powered by 2 AA alkaline batteries, which typically last for about 2 years under normal operating conditions.

Can I check my radon levels when I'm away from home?

Yes, if you have an Airthings Hub or a View series monitor connected to Wi-Fi, your Wave Radon data can be accessed remotely through the app. Otherwise, you can check readings when your smartphone is within Bluetooth range of the detector.

What are the recommended radon levels?

Health authorities recommend taking action if radon levels are consistently above 150 Bq/m³ (4 pCi/L). The Airthings app will provide guidance based on your local recommendations.

Does this device detect other air pollutants like VOCs?

The Airthings Wave Radon specifically measures radon, humidity, and temperature. It does not detect other pollutants like VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

Troubleshooting

Device not connecting to the app

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Bring your smartphone closer to the Airthings Wave Radon. Restart both your smartphone and the detector by removing and reinserting the batteries. Check if the app is updated to the latest version.

No readings appearing in the app

Allow the device at least 24 hours after initial setup for the first radon reading. Ensure the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Verify the device is still paired with your account in the app.

Inaccurate or fluctuating readings

Radon levels naturally fluctuate. Ensure the device is placed away from direct drafts, high humidity sources, or direct sunlight. Check that the device's vents are clear. Consistent readings over several days provide a more accurate trend.

Color-coded indicator not working

Pass your hand in front of the detector to activate the indicator. If it still does not respond, check the battery level and ensure the device is powered on. If the issue persists, contact Airthings support.
