Common questions and answers
Q. What happens if I wear someone else’s Personal Meter?
A. That person gets credit for the time you wore the Meter and the TV
and Radio Ratings won’t be as accurate. Please exchange Meters as
soon as you discover the error and notify your Arbitron Ratings repre-
sentative so that they can correctly credit your viewing and listening.
Q. Will this equipment interfere with my TV or radio reception?
A. No, you will receive all stations available to you now without any changes.
Q. Can I move the Personal Meter Recharger after it has been plugged in?
A. We don’t recommend moving the unit because of its internal design. Please keep it in
one place.
Q. Will the Personal Meter still pick up the signal if my TV is on mute?
A. The sound must be on for the signal to be picked up by the Meter. Remember to watch or
listen to TV as you normally do.
Q. I must go through an x-ray machine at work (or at the airport). Will this harm the
Personal Meter?
A. No, it will not harm your Personal Meter.
Q. Does watching more TV or listening to more radio increase my points?
A. No. Points are related to the amount of time you wear the Personal Meter each week. It
doesn’t matter how much or how little you watch TV or listen to radio.
