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.
For Electric (ELEC) Fields (fluorescent lights, wall outlets and wiring, and electrical switches), turn the knob to Standard ELEC or Weighted ELEC. In an electromagnetically quiet home or office, both Standard and Weighted ELEC will read less than 50 V/m. For Radio/Microwave (RF) frequencies (cell phones, WiFi routers, microwave ovens, and radio/tv stations), turn the knob to RF.
Frequently Asked Questions continued What is the difference between the large numerals (field measurement) and the small numerals (peak measurement)? The large numerals display the field measurement in real time and correspond to the field percentage indicator graph. The peak measurement captures the highest number and holds that number for 5 seconds or until a larger number is read. For reading magnetic and electric fields, the field measurement numbers work very well.
