Storage
Store the radon monitor in an indoor, protected environment. Do not store the
radon monitor in the trunk of a car for extended periods. Keep the unit dry. For
long term storage, store in a cool, dry place and leave a 9V battery in the unit to
protect the internal battery. Periodically inspect the 9V battery and replace if
leakage or corrosion are found.

Cleaning
Clean the unit with a soft dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or
abrasives.
Disposing and Recycling
Do not discard unit as waste. Recycle the components in accordance with local
regulations.
Battery Life
Any 9V battery will operate the radon monitor. Alkaline batteries generally provide
a good balance between long life and cost; lithium-ion batteries tend to be more
expensive but last longer. Since battery capacity varies widely between types of
batteries and even between individual batteries of the same type, the predicted
battery life of 100 hours using a fresh alkaline battery (or 300 hours using a fresh
lithium-ion battery) is only an estimate. An individual unit may have longer or
shorter life.
Maintaining Software
The radon monitor has Windows software that is installed on a computer.
Software upgrades or patches may become available after purchase; these
changes to the software add features, improve operation, fix problems, or adapt
to operating system changes.
These upgrades, when available, can be downloaded from the Sun Nuclear
Support website for Radon products (see
on page 54). Navigate
to “Support,” then select “Radon Downloads.”
CAUTION: Always leave a fresh 9V battery in the unit to keep the 3V
internal battery from discharging.
Do not throw in trash; dispose of in an environmentally friendly way.
