TIPS
Tip 1: Strange Readings? Do This:
Tip 2: Not Using It? Turn It Off: For the most consistently accurate readings and longest product life,
it is recommended to leave the air quality monitor off while it is not being used (i.e. overnight, while on
vacation, etc.). This will preserve the battery, sensors, and fan.
Tip 3: Open a Window: Often the quickest and most practical way to get readings back into the desired
range is to simply open a window to ventilate more clean outdoor air into your home. This obviously does
not apply if you are located in a wildfire area or any other area with compromised outdoor air quality.
Tip 4: Cooking Impacts Air Quality: Cooking often releases increased amounts of unhealthy pollutants
into the air including but not limited to CO2, PM2.5 and 10, and VOCs. Furthermore, how and what you
cook determines the types of pollutants which will be released into the air.
Tip 5: Use Filters and Air Purifiers: To improve indoor air quality, it is highly recommended to use not
only a standard pleated or HEPA furnace filter, but also an air purifier in the areas in which you spend
the most time; perhaps maybe your home office or bedroom.
CRITICAL NOTE: Auto-Saver Technology: Please note that the AirKnight AK1000 is programmed to
automatically power off every 11 hours in order to recalibrate the sensors and prolong the product life
(including battery life). You can simply turn it back on when you want to use it again.
1.
Turn the device off for a few minutes and then turn it on back on again (effectively allowing the
monitor to reset). After continuous use for extended periods or exposure to certain
chemicals / fumes, the device may need to be reset.
OR
2. Open a window or bring the AK1000 outdoors to allow the sensors to exhaust any possible
accumulated fumes and to allow the readings to adjust back down to more normal levels.
