Заўвага: All data will be erased after restarting the detector (e.g., after battery replacement). The device will begin a new measurement cycle.
3.2 Пачатковае размяшчэнне
Proper placement is crucial for accurate radon measurement. Consider the following guidelines:
- Place the detector at least 50 cm (20 inches) above the floor.
- Ensure it is at least 150 cm (59 inches) away from windows, doors, or vents to avoid drafts that could affect readings.
- Choose a location where the device will not be moved during the measurement period.
- Ideal locations include living rooms, bedrooms, basements, or garages, especially areas close to the ground.

4. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі
4.1 Уключэнне
The device automatically powers on once batteries are installed. The display will activate, and the measurement indicator will begin to flash, signifying that the detector is active and taking measurements.
4.2 Initial Measurement Period
- The first radon data will be displayed after 24 hours of continuous operation.
- The 7-day average value will appear after the detector has operated for a full 7 days.
- For the most accurate long-term assessment, allow the device to operate undisturbed for an extended period.

4.3 Чытанне паказанняў на дысплеі
The display shows three key radon measurements in Bq/m³ (Becquerels per cubic meter):
- Long-Term Average: This value represents the average radon concentration over the entire period since the last reset or battery installation, up to 1 year. It provides the most stable and reliable indication of your home's radon exposure.
- 1-Day Average (Short-Term Average): This value updates hourly and shows the average radon concentration over the last 24 hours. It reflects recent fluctuations in radon levels.
- 7-Day Average: This value shows the average radon concentration over the past 7 days. It provides a more stable short-term trend than the 1-day average.
5. Understanding Radon Levels
Radon levels can fluctuate daily and seasonally. Long-term measurements provide the most accurate assessment of your average exposure. Refer to local guidelines for recommended action levels. General guidance is provided below:

| Radon Level (Bq/m³) | Interpretation & Action |
|---|---|
| More than 150 Bq/m³ | Дрэнна: Air quality is poor. If levels persist for more than one month, contact a radon professional for repairs or other measures to reduce radon levels in your home. |
| Between 100 – 150 Bq/m³ | Кірмаш: Continued monitoring is necessary. If levels remain for more than 3 months, contact a radon professional for repairs or other measures to reduce radon levels in your home. |
| Less than 100 Bq/m³ | Добра: Air quality is good. Maintain current conditions. |

6. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне
6.1 Замена батарэі
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, it's time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 3.1. Remember that replacing batteries will reset all stored data, and the device will start a new measurement cycle.
6.2 Ачыстка
- Працярыце прыладу мяккай сухой тканінай.
- Не выкарыстоўвайце абразіўныя ачышчальнікі або растваральнікі.
- Ensure the radon sensing area on the back remains clear of dust and debris.
6.3 Захоўванне
If storing the device for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage.
7. Выпраўленне непаладак
| праблема | Магчымая прычына | Рашэнне |
|---|---|---|
| No display or device not turning on. | Батарэі разраджаны або ўсталяваны няправільна. | Праверце палярнасць батарэек. Заменіце новымі батарэйкамі тыпу AAA. |
| "---" displayed instead of readings. | Device has not been operating for 24 hours yet. | Allow at least 24 hours for initial readings to appear. The 7-day average requires 7 days. |
| Readings seem unusually high or low. | Improper placement (too close to windows/vents, or moved frequently). | Ensure proper placement as described in Section 3.2. Avoid moving the device during measurement. Radon levels naturally fluctuate; observe long-term trends. |
| Уключаны індыкатар разраду батарэі. | Батарэі разраджаны. | Replace all 3 AAA batteries. Note that data will reset. |
