What to know before buying

The manufacturer says readings may be affected by high humidity and strong light. Keep humidity below 90%RH and avoid direct exposure to strong light. After restart or retest, wait six hours for a new reading. It also says factory testing can leave residual radon that may cause an initially high reading.
