Application
The air-Q is an intelligent and highly accurate air analysis device for smart
home integration. It wirelessly connects to your Wi-Fi and can be conveniently
operated using the air-Q smartphone app or the web browser. Please note the
following to ensure that the air-Q works as intended:
• This air-Q that you have purchased is intended for indoor use only.
• The surface can be easily and carefully cleaned with a moist cloth
(without detergent) without damaging the blades.
• The air-Q is not suitable for use in humid rooms (> 95% air humidity).
• Do not cover the air-Q or otherwise close the air inlets.
• You should not remove the memory card (SD card) during operation.
Experienced users may remove the memory card in order to manually read
the data when the air-Q is turned off.

• Do not convert, modify, or open the air-Q.
• To obtain the best measurement results, we recommend that you use the
included power supply and power cable. Many cheap power supplies and
power cords unfortunately do not completely meet the USB standards and
sometimes distort the measurement results.
• Operate the air-Q only in accordance with the guidelines in these instructions.

Manufacturer‘s warranty
As the manufacturer of this brand-name product, we offer a two-year warranty
on this device‘s hardware. The warranty period begins on the date of purchase
by the rst end consumer and can be substantiated by submitting an invoice or
contract. Your statutory warranty rights will not be limited by this warranty.
During the warranty period, we will remedy any defects in the product that are
clearly attributable to material or manufacturing defects. Defects that occur
due to improper installation and handling or non-compliance with the operat-
ing instructions will not be covered by the warranty.
Within the scope of the warranty, we as a manufacturer can choose between
a repair or replacement. This warranty does not cover claims other than the
right to have possible product defects remedied, as specied in these warranty
terms.
14

Furthermore, we guarantee that the software (smartphone app, web app,
rmware) meets the general specications, but we do not guarantee that the
software meets your individual needs. Older smartphone models may not be
supported, as they do not meet the latest standards (security and functionality).
Furthermore, no guarantee is given for the protection of your personal data and
measurement data. Shipping costs will not be reimbursed.
Replaced products or product parts become our property again. Warranty ser-
vices effectuate neither an extension of the warranty period nor do they begin a
new warranty period.
The warranty period for the installed spare parts ends with the warranty period
for the entire device. If we reject a warranty claim, it shall lapse no later than six
months after our rejection. German law shall be applicable for this warranty with
the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Internation-
al Sale of Goods (CISG).
