General Information
Care must be taken to ensure radiation beam is off
prior to placing the unit into position.
To avoid erroneous results, the unit must be
positioned in the center of the beam. Failure to
position the unit in the center of the beam would
cause unexpected results do to the difference in the
beam spectrum at various locations of the beam.
This device is intended for use only by persons who
have been trained in the proper interpretation of its
readings and in the appropriate safety procedures
to be followed in the presence of radiation.
Use of instrument while "LO BAT" indicator is
displayed may result in erroneous measurements
due to the loss of an accurate voltage reference.
