Do not leave your ONYX
in temperatures over 122° F
(50° C) or in direct sunlight for extended periods of
time.

Do not submerse ONYX
in liquid of any kind. Water can
damage the circuitry and the coating of the mica
surface of the Geiger tube.

If the surface of the mica on your pancake detector
becomes scratched or loses its coating, avoid
making measurements with the detector window
in direct sunlight; this could affect the readings.

Do not put the ONYX
in a microwave oven. It cannot
measure microwaves, and you may damage it or
the oven.

Please remember to treat radiation sources with
respect. Any exposure carries some risk, though it
might be small. Educate and protect yourself.
