Setup
Charging the Device:
- Connect the provided USB charging cable to the charging port on the Tadeto TE029.
- Plug the other end of the USB cable into a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
- The device's charging indicator will illuminate during charging and change color or turn off when fully charged.
Initial Power On:
- Press and hold the power button (usually located on the front or side of the device) until the screen illuminates.
- The device will perform a brief self-test and then display the current measurement readings.
Operating Instructions
Understanding Measurement Modes:
The Tadeto TE029 measures three types of electromagnetic radiation:
- Radio Frequency (RF): Measures signals from Wi-Fi, 5G, cell phones, microwaves, etc. Displayed in mW/m².
- Electric Field (EF): Measures electric fields from power lines, appliances, and wiring. Displayed in V/M.
- Magnetic Field (EMF): Measures magnetic fields from motors, transformers, and electrical currents. Displayed in uT/mG.

This image illustrates the three primary measurement functions of the Tadeto TE029: Radio Frequency (RF), Electric Field (EF), and Magnetic Field (EMF) detection.
Taking Measurements:
- Power on the device. The screen will show real-time readings for RF, EF, and EMF.
- Point the top of the device towards the suspected radiation source for accurate readings. The device is directional, not omnidirectional.
- Observe the digital readouts and the color-coded indicators (green, yellow, red) which represent low, medium, and high radiation levels respectively.

Function Buttons:
- MAX_EF / MAX_EMF / PEAK_RF: Press these buttons to view the maximum recorded value for Electric Field, Magnetic Field, or Radio Frequency respectively. Press again to exit maximum value mode.
- uT/mG: Toggles the unit for Magnetic Field measurement between microtesla (uT) and milligauss (mG).
- APO/HOLD: Short press to activate/deactivate data hold, which freezes the current readings on the screen. Long press to toggle automatic power off.
- Mute Key: Toggles the audible alarm on or off.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the casing or screen.
Battery Care:
The device uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the device regularly, especially if it will not be used for an extended period.
Storage:
Store the EMF meter in its protective storage box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery or no charge. | Charge the device using the provided USB cable. Ensure the charging indicator shows activity. |
| Readings seem inaccurate or fluctuate wildly. | Interference from other electronic devices; incorrect orientation; bursty signals. | Ensure the device is pointed directly at the source. Move away from other strong electronic devices. Note that some RF signals are inherently bursty. |
| Audible alarm sounds too frequently. | High radiation levels detected; alarm threshold exceeded. | Press the Mute Key to turn off the alarm sound. Consider relocating or reducing exposure to the source if levels are consistently high. |
| Screen is dim or unreadable. | Low battery; backlight off. | Charge the device. Ensure the backlight is active (if applicable, check manual for specific backlight control). |
