1. Install 9V Battery
by sliding the rear battery door downward.
Note the battery polarity. If the battery is installed backwards, this will
not harm the meter, but the meter will not work until the battery is
correct. Replace the battery when the battery level icon in the upper
right corner of the LCD drops to zero bars. Typical battery life is 20
hours.
2. Audio and Light Buttons
are located in the battery
compartment. While the meter is on, you can press these green buttons
to turn the backlight on or off and to turn the audio option on or off.

4. Measuring Fields
is simple
☺
For Magnetic (MAG) Fields (power lines, appliances, wiring in walls, and
motors) turn the knob to Standard MAG or Weighted MAG. A typical
home with low EMF will read less than 3.0 milligauss on Standard MAG
and less than 5.0 milligauss on Weighted MAG.
Covering the top of the meter will not affect the magnetic reading.
For both Electric (ELEC) and Radio (RF) field measurement, hold
the bottom half of the meter below this point. Do not block the top of the
meter with your hand. Point the meter outward, away from your body.
The reading may be higher when holding the meter than if it is set down.
This is because the body concentrates the field. Therefore, hold the
meter to obtain a true reading of your full exposure.
