Where you should place it ✔
You should place your monitor where you spend the majority of your time in your home, so you can understand more about the air you breathe the most!
You can mount your monitor to a wall, or you can simply lay it flat on a shelf or a table facing upwards.

On a table, nightstand, or shelf
Multi-room placement ideas
For optimum functionality and longevity, we recommend:
Place at approximate breathing height if possible
Make sure it is laid flat on a solid surface
Avoid damp/humid environments in excess of 80% humidity
Place where it cannot easily be tampered with (pushed/moved/damaged)
Keep in mind the distance the waving feature works is about 25 cm (10 inches), so it is good to place it somewhere within reach to give you an indication of the overall air quality at a glance.
For Wave Enhance only, it is equipped with a capacitive touch sensor behind its faceplate so that when you tap the logo, a color-coded glow indicator will give you an indication of the overall air quality.
Where you should not place it ❌
Do not place it outside
Do not place it in direct sunlight
Do not place it in an area with heavy dust or near water
Do not place it in an environment with high humidity
Or in a location where you do not spend a lot of time - the purpose is to understand the air you breathe!
How to perform your measurements
We strongly advise:
Resetting the monitor when starting a new measurement or changing location
Not moving the monitor while performing a measurement
Measuring for at least 30 days
How to mount your monitor to the wall:
Remove the magnetic mounting plate from the back of the monitor
Place the screw inside the hole in the mounting plate, so that the head of the screw can be seen in the middle of the metallic circle.
Use a screwdriver or power drill to place the screw in the wall where you would like to place your unit. Make sure it's screwed straight (perpendicularly) against the wall. (make sure to use appropriate screws, the one that comes with the Wave Plus is for wood or concrete walls).
Simply snap the unit in place thanks to the magnetic mounting plate and rotate it into position.
