Complete Indoor Air Quality Monitor
Congratulations on taking this important step toward living a healthier life.
By keeping track of your indoor air quality and radon levels, you can make healthier decisions in
the spaces where you spend most of your time. Increased productivity and energy levels, better
quality sleep, and resistance to illness are just a few of the benefits. Lessening your exposure to
radon will reduce your risk of lung cancer.
The Airthings View Plus provides you with detailed information about Particulate Matter, Radon,
Airborne chemicals, CO , Temperature, Humidity and Air Pressure levels on the display, your
phone, Airthings Dashboard or simply wave in front of the device for a visual indication of your
overall indoor air quality.

VIEW PLUS SETUP
Step 1 - Download the Airthings
App
Download or update the Airthings
App from the Apple App Store or
Google Play Store and create an
account.
Step 2 - Setup
Pull the battery tab on the device
and follow the in-app instructions
to connect the device to your
smartphone and your Wi-Fi® or
Smartlink network. You can also
power your device using the
supplied USB cable. There may be
a firmware update when you start
the device.
Note: You can leave the batteries in when powering
over USB, but the batteries will not be recharged.
Your View Plus will automatically swap between
battery power and USB power.
Step 3 - Placement
Your View Plus can be placed
wherever you want to measure
your air quality, such as your night
stand, on the wall in the baby
room, on a shelf in the living room.
It should be kept away from very
dusty environments, and performs
best if cleaned with a dry or damp
cloth once in a while.
To mount your View Plus on a wall:
Fix the mounting bracket to the
wall. Make sure you use
appropriate screws for your wall
type. Do not place it close to vents
or windows. Minimum 1 meter / 3
feet distance
Step 4 - Calibration
The radon, CO₂, and VOC sensors
will need time, usually around a
week, to calibrate after power-up.
See more details in the View Plus
Product Sheet.
DAILY USE
Configurable Display
The display can be configured to show the sensor values you care most about. Configuration is
done in the Airthings dashboard or app. The display will update every 2.5 minutes, depending on
sensor sample interval and the sensors shown on the display. It will sometimes flicker completely to
refresh itself. This is normal and does not mean your device is operating incorrectly.
Note: The Calm Tech e-paper display does not require power to show an image. If your View Plus suddenly loses power, for
example if the USB connector is removed and there are no batteries in the compartment, then the display will simply keep
displaying whatever image it had when loss of power occurred. The display will update as normal when power is restored to the
product.
Wave function
Wave in front of your device for a quick visual indication of your indoor air quality levels. The glow
signal will light up according to the overall air quality (green means good, yellow means fair, and
red means poor), and the display will change to show any levels that are fair or poor.
