1. Set the moment dose rate alarm threshold (DOSE RATE Alarm):
   • Short time press menu key shift the menu to DOSE RATE Alarm page.
   • Short time press power supply key DOSE RATE Alarm then alarm value flashing, now circling shift to alarm value within 0.6-300uSv range through menu key.
   • Short time press power supply key to save the alarm value.
2. Set the accumulate dose alarm threshold (DOSE Alarm):
   • Short time press menu key shift the menu to DOSE Alarm page.
   • Short time press power supply key DOSE Alarm then alarm value flashing, now circling shift to alarm value within 1-3000uSv range through menu key.
   • Short time press power supply key to save the alarm value.

Seventh Safety Notices

Instrument unexpected fallen| Please confirm whether radiation dose indicate value are normal, whether it will update. Please don’t apply the instrument in the high strength radiation field.
---|---
Instrument reminding “Equipment damaged”| Please don’t apply the instrument in high strength radiation field.
Contain explode and inflammable gas or powder dust in the operate environment| Please don’t apply the instrument in explode and inflammable gas and powder dust environment.
Waterproof| Please attention the waterproof degree of instrument only IP40, can’t be raining or water splashing. For the X-ray, it only can used as reference of test strong or weak radiation, unable to meet energy responding requirements.
