New Monitor: Co2 self-Calibration needed?

Hi all, I have just purchased the Indoor Monitor and set it up yesterday. When I was looking into buying an Air Quality monitor, other manufacturer’s advised keeping the monitor near a window / fresh air for the first c5 days so the Co2 monitor was appropriately self-calibrated. Is this the suggestion for the Air Gradient monitor too? Or is this not needed? Thanks

Hi @Paul_S, welcome to our community!

It’s a good idea to perform a manual CO2 calibration initially. You can connect your AirGradient ONE to a power bank, put it outside for a while, then push the calibrate CO2 button on the AirGradient Dashboard.

You can see the discussion about this here: CO2: how to get accurate readings for a brand new indoor monitor?

I hope you’ll enjoy your AirGradient ONE. Let me know if you encounter any issues.

Have a great weekend!
