Congratulations on taking this important step toward living a healthier life.
By keeping track of your indoor air quality levels, you can make healthier decisions in the spaces where you
spend most of your time. Increased energy levels, better quality sleep and resistance to illness are just a
few benefits.
The Airthings Wave Mini provides you with detailed information about airborne chemicals, temperature
and humidity levels on your phone, Airthings Dashboard or by simply waving in front of the device for a
visual indication of your air quality levels—green is good, yellow is warning and red is danger.

Basics of the App
*A placeholder for the updated app with Wave Mini and its
correct sensors.
Wave in front of your device to see a visual
indication of your daily radon levels.
Make sure you always have Bluetooth enabled on
your phone and the app running in the
background. Every time you move within
Bluetooth range of your device, the latest data
will be downloaded automatically.
You will be notified if any actions are needed
through the app.
The Wave Mini will enter stand-alone mode if not
connected to a phone the last 7 days. Next time
the device is connected to a phone again, it will
go back to regular connected mode.
The Wave Mini also includes Airthings Smartlink
which works with the Hub. Refer to the Hub
manual for the Smartlink info. The Hub provides
longer range as well as live updates using the
Airthings Smartlink.
Fix the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall, or
use the stand to place on a flat surface. Make sure
you use appropriate screws for your wall type. The
screws included are intended for wood or drywall.
Do not place it close to vents or windows.
Minimum 1 meter / 3 feet distance.
Thanks to the built-in magnet, simply snap the
unit onto the mounted bracket.

The Airthings Wave Mini shares data to your
mobile device as well as the Airthings
Dashboard—a free online platform that provides

Sensor icons
Airborne chemicals and toxins – Total Volatile Organic Compounds or TVOCs are
vapors emitted from all sorts of daily products including paints and furniture, wax
and cosmetics, cleaning and hobby products, cooking and human breath. At high
concentrations they can be harmful and cause negative side-effects from minor
eye, nose and throat irritations all the way to liver and kidney damage, depending
on the level and length of exposure.
Temperature – Indoor temperatures can affect performance, mood and comfort
level. Individual sleep patterns are also affected by indoor air temperature.
Humidity – Too much or too little humidity can affect allergies and cold or flu
symptoms. When humidity levels are too high, mold and rot will occur. Low
humidity levels cause static electricity, dry skin and hair, and increased
susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness.
Troubleshooting
First and foremost, always make sure that you
have updated to the latest device software
• In the device settings menu, click update
device.
Not able to connect to my device
• Make sure you have the detector within
the range of 2-5 meters or 5-15 feet.
• Check if Bluetooth is turned on.
• Check if the power indicator is blinking.
My app is not updated when running in
background mode
• Open your phone settings and verify that
the Airthings Wave app is running in the
background. You can usually find this in
the app manager section of your phone
settings.
• Make sure you are in Bluetooth range
periodically.
No response from glow signal
• First, sync your data and then replace the
batteries. We recommend AA alkaline
(LR6).
