When the accumulate dose exceeds the settings an alarm will occur causing the device to vibrate and
sound the audio alarms, if configured to do so. Also, the Total Dose Alert notice will appear on the
screen of the device. Press the top right button to acknowledge the alarm. The Mini Rad-DX will stop
alarming, but the Total Dose Caution message will continue to appear on the screen.
Resetting the Total Dose Alarm can be done by pressing the Reset Dose button on the device in the
Alerts/Alarm Thresholds menu.
8.6.2 Alarm Options
The different levels of alarm thresholds are reported in the Alerts Menu. As the radiation level
increases and the device measures above each limit, the frequency of the alarming will increase
and the alarm level will display in the upper left corner of the dose rate screen.
