2. APPLICATIONS
This EMF tester is specifically designed to determine the magnitude of electromagnetic field radiation generated by power lines, computer's monitor, TV sets, video machinery and many other similar devices.
3. CAUTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD EXPOSURE
Claims by some scientists that long term exposure to electromagnetic field may be the cause of childhood leukemia & other forms of cancer. Complete answers to any of these and related questions are not currently available. At the present time the most common practice is to avoid excess exposure over long period of time. "Prudent Avoidance" as stated by the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) USA is recommended.

6. MEASURING PROCEDURE
1)Power ON the meter by pushing the " Power button " ( 5-2, Fig. 1 ).
2)Select the desired unit ( micro Tesla or mili-Gauss ) by pushing the " Unit button " ( 5-5, Fig. 1 ).
3)Use the " Range button " ( 5-6, Fig. 1 ) to select the suitable range. For the unknown EMF measurement, start with the highest range and keep decreasing until the higher resolution's reading is obtained.
4)Hold the " Probe handle " ( 5-11, Fig. 1 ), move the " Probe sensing head " ( 5-12, Fig. 1 ) slowly towards to the object under measurement until it is physically touched.
5)Use the " XYZ axis select button " ( 5-4, Fig. 1 ) to select the EMF value in the X, Y or Z axis.
Note :
@
Due to the electromagnetic interference of the environment, the display reading may show small values before testing, for example less than 0.05 micro Tesla. This is not malfunction of the tester.
@
If the object under measurement is turned off during the measurement, the EMF tester reading should then return to zero, unless a field from other sources are detected.
6)During the measurement, if push the " Hold button " ( 5-3, Fig. 1 ) will freeze the display value. Push the " Hold button " again will release the Hold function.

7. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended to measure the presence of the electromagnetic field inside and outside of your home and business locations regularly. As "hot spots" are detected by the EMF tester, re-arrangement of the living and working areas is lightly recommended. Always try the best to avoid long term exposure to strong electromagnetic field.
8. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1)
When the left corner of LCD display show " ", it is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec.
measurement may still be made for several hours after low battery indicator appears before the instrument become inaccurate.
2)Slide the " Battery Cover " ( 5-7, Fig. 1 ) away from the instrument and remove the battery.
3)Replace with 9V battery ( Alkaline or Heavy duty type ) and reinstate the cover.
4)Make sure the battery cover is secured after changing the battery.
