Nota: All data will be erased after restarting the detector (e.g., after battery replacement). The device will begin a new measurement cycle.

3.2 Col·locació inicial

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. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Encès

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 Lectura de la pantalla

The display shows three key radon measurements in Bq/m³ (Becquerels per cubic meter):

• Mitjana a llarg termini: 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:

6. Manteniment

6.1 Substitució de la bateria

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 Neteja

• Netegeu el dispositiu amb un drap suau i sec.
• No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni dissolvents.
• Ensure the radon sensing area on the back remains clear of dust and debris.

6.3 Emmagatzematge
