Storing the Dosimeter 

The best place to keep the dosimeter is on a powered ON docking 
station. You may safely leave it docked there indefinitely. You may 
disconnect the computer USB cable to move your laptop or computer 
any time you are not using the DMS software. 
 
Additionally, if the dosimeter is docked and stored on the docking station 
when the docking station is powered off, it will still draw a small amount 
of battery power from the dosimeter. In this condition, it is recommended 
to store the dosimeter(s) separately from the docking station. 
 
To preserve the life of the battery, it is suggested that the dosimeter is 
turned off when you are storing the dosimeter in a carry case or other 
storage place.
