2.4 Handling Recommendations
As the DMC 3000 offers the ability to clip it either outside the pocket, (standard or belt clip) or inside
(front side clip), users should remember to wear the dosimeter with its back side facing the body.
(See label on the battery cover.)
As the energy range of the DMC 3000 starts at 15 keV, the detection area of the dosimeter should not be
covered with any heavy material, like metal, in order to ensure the most accurate dose measurement.
The DMC 3000 will warn you when the battery needs to be replaced. A completely discharged battery can cause
leakage that may damage your DMC 3000. Thus, dead batteries should be removed or replaced promptly.
Only approved batteries or high quality Alkaline batteries should be used with your DMC 3000 (see Chapter 6).
There are no serviceable parts inside your DMC 3000. Thus, tampering with the case will compromise the
waterproofing and void the warranty.
