When conducting a long-term examination we recommend you to
install two power elements, for a short-term just one as it is possible to use
one power element.

Do not mix the
and new power elements.
We recommend altering individual settings before conducting the
evaluation (page

Recommendations on examining the objects
Remember that the ionizing radiation has a static random character
therefore indications of the monitor in identical conditions will not remain
strict. For a precise definition of a dose rate it is necessary to conduct not less
than 4 cycles of monitoring without turning off the device.
strict. For a precise definition of a dose rate it is necessary to conduct not less
than 4 cycles of monitoring without turning off the device.
For defining radioactivity of the food, household items etc.
approximate the monitor to the object of examination on a distance from 5 to
10 mm and turn it on.
10 mm and turn it on.
For defining radioactivity of fluids, the evaluation of a dose rate is
conducted above the unclosed surface of a fluid. For the device protection it
is recommended to use a polyethylene package, but no more than in one
layer. Do not let the moisture to get inside the device.

The estimation output exceeding the natural background that is
ordinary for the given location is the evidence of the radioactive impurity of
the inspected object. The "Background" mode is presented for convenience

Detecting the location of an ionizing radiation source it is necessary to
move a working device above the surface of examined object, being
oriented on frequency increase of a sound signal (in menu settings: levels -
off, audio - on). Remember, that the frequency of signals as approaching the
source will increase sharply, and in accordance with moving away will
decrease in the same manner.
