Meter Operation
1. Place the “OFF/Tesla/Gauss” Switch to the Gauss or Tesla position.
2. Move the meter's sensor slowly toward the device under test and read the LCD
indication. If the LCD display is completely blank or if “LO BAT” appears on the left
corner of the LCD, check the 9V battery (replace if necessary).
3. Notice that the field intensity reading increases as you move closer to a field.
4. Position the meter at different angles to the device under test and observe how this
positioning affects the EMF readings.
5. Record the highest reading obtained from the various reading positions.
6. If the device under test is off, the EMF tester reading should go to zero unless another
source of radiation is present.
7. If the meter’s display indicates a “1” on the left side of the LCD, an overload condition
exists. This indicates that the measured radiation is higher than the capability of the
meter.
EMF Exposure
The effect of EMF exposure on humans and animals is a modern day concern. At the time
of this writing, to the best of our knowledge, no standards or recommendations exist
regarding limits of EMF exposure. Until evidence suggests that there is not a health risk
associated with EMF exposure, common sense would dictate that a practice of minimal
exposure be exercised.
