• VPP / AVG: Indicates Peak Value mode or Average Value mode.
• HOLD: Appears when the data hold function is active.
• Battery Icon: Shows the current battery level.
• Buzzer Icon: Indicates if the audible alarm is enabled.
• E-field: Displays the electric field radiation value in V/m.
• H-field: Displays the magnetic field radiation value in uT or mG.
• Temperature: Shows the ambient temperature in °C or °F.
• Good / Warning: Indicates the radiation assessment status. "Good" means values are within safe limits; "Warning" indicates values exceed preset thresholds.

4. Setup

4.1 Charging the Device

The DANOPLUS EMF Meter comes with a built-in rechargeable battery. Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the device.

1. Connect the small end of the provided USB cable to the charging port on the side of the EMF meter.
2. Connect the larger end of the USB cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
3. The battery icon on the LCD screen will indicate charging status. Once fully charged, the battery icon will show full.

A low battery indicator will appear on the screen when the battery needs recharging.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

• To Power On: Press and hold the Power/HOLD button for approximately 2 seconds until the screen illuminates.
• To Power Off: Press and hold the Power/HOLD button for approximately 2 seconds until the screen turns off.

The device features an automatic shut-down function after 5 minutes of no button operation to conserve battery life.

5.2 Measurement Modes (AVG/VPP)

The meter can display either the average or peak value of the radiation:

• Press the AVG/VPP button to toggle between Average (AVG) and Peak (VPP) value modes.
• AVG (Average Value): Displays the average radiation level over time.
• VPP (Peak Value): Displays the highest radiation level detected during the measurement period.

5.3 Changing Units

You can select preferred units for temperature and magnetic field:

• Press the UNIT button to cycle through the available units.
• For temperature, choose between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
• For magnetic field, choose between microtesla (uT) and milligauss (mG).

5.4 Data Hold Function

To freeze the current readings on the screen:

• While the device is on, short press the Power/HOLD button. The "HOLD" icon will appear on the screen.
• To release the hold and resume live measurements, short press the Power/HOLD button again.

5.5 Interpreting Readings and Alarms

The device provides a visual and audible indication of radiation levels:

• "Good" Indication: When the electric and magnetic field values are below the preset alarm thresholds, the screen will display "Good" next to the respective field.
• "Warning" Indication: If the measured values exceed the alarm thresholds (40V/m for electric field and 0.4uT/4mG for magnetic field), the screen will display "Warning", the indicator light will flash, and an audible alarm will sound (if enabled).

To disable or enable the audible alarm, refer to the specific instructions in the full manual (if available, otherwise assume it's automatic).

5.6 General Measurement Tips

• Hold the device steady and point the front sensing area towards the suspected source of radiation.
• Move the meter slowly around the area to identify hot spots.
• Measurements can be affected by other electronic devices nearby. Try to minimize interference.
