Press the multi-function button on the Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor

The Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor tracks and measures your indoor air quality, and makes it easy to understand what’s in your indoor air. Setup is easy and only takes a few minutes.

Here are some helpful tips to consider before you get started:

  • Place your device in an area with good airflow. Make sure to not obstruct the air intake vent.
  • For optimal sensor readings, keep your device away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid placing your device near air vents, such as AC or heating vents.

Time needed: 5 minutes.

  1. Plug the Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor into the wall

    You should see a blue blinking light on your device.

    If the LED light isn’t blinking blue, it means your device isn’t in set up mode. To put your device in set up mode, press and hold the multi-function button on the back of your device for 5-10 seconds until the light starts to blink blue.
