Tips that will help you achieve valid readings:
(The following guidelines are condensed from the EPA Radon testing protocols.)
Radon is a dangerous radioactive gas naturally produced by the breakdown of uranium in the ground. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can cause lung cancer. The EPA and surgeon general recommend that all homes below the third floor be tested for radon.

You may use this test during any season, as long as closed building conditions can be maintained. All external doors, windows, and vents should be kept closed from 12 hours before starting the test until the end of the test. You do not need to change your normal entry and exits routines.
If your building has a permanently installed mitigation system, air to air heat exchangeer, and/or combustion air supplies for furnaces, etc. they should be operated normally. Also do not operate any window or whole house fans.
The test should not be started if severe weather is predicted. For example, a major storm system with winds exceeding 30 MPH.
