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.
