The device features a high-definition VA Reverse Display Color Screen, offering both digital and analog dual display for clear and comprehensive data presentation. It shows real-time readings for E-field, H-field, and RF, along with temperature and battery percentage.
Setup
Your AceFox EMF Detector comes with a built-in 1000mAh rechargeable battery.
Initial Charging
Image: The EMF detector being charged via its USB-C port, with a green light indicating "Full" and a red light indicating "Charging".
Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged using the provided USB-C charging cable. Connect the cable to the device's Type-C charging port and a compatible USB power adapter (not included). The charging indicator light will show the charging status.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press the power button (usually marked with a power symbol) to turn the device on or off.
Measurement Modes
The device measures three types of electromagnetic radiation:
Electric Field (E-field) Measurement
Short press the SEL key to display "E-field" on the screen. This mode measures the electric field radiation value from electrical equipment.
Magnetic Field (H-field) Measurement
Short press the SEL key again to display "H-field" on the screen. This mode measures the electromagnetic radiation values in units of mG (milliGauss) or uT (micro Tesla).
Radio Frequency (RF) Measurement
Short press the RF button to enter high-frequency signal radiation measurement mode. The screen will display "RF". This mode can measure base stations between 30MHz and 8GHz.
Image: Visual examples of common sources for RF (cell towers), E-field (kitchen appliances), and H-field (trains/power lines), illustrating where each type of field might be detected.
Data Logging Functions
Data Hold
Press the HOLD button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
Max/Min/Average Modes
Press the AVG MAX button to cycle through maximum, minimum, and average readings. This allows for analysis of peak and sustained radiation levels.
Interpreting Readings
Image: Illustrates common household radiation sources (computer, television, microwave oven) and their approximate radiation index values (e.g., computer ~0.46uT, microwave ~973V/m).
The device provides real-time readings. When the electromagnetic radiation simulation bar on the screen reaches the yellow area, the instrument will alarm, indicating excessive radiation. It is recommended to take protective measures or move away from the radiation source in such cases.
Image: Depicts pregnant women, babies, and elderly individuals, with accompanying text explaining the potential health impacts of long-term radiation exposure on these sensitive groups.
Maintenance
- Keep the device clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
- Store the device in its provided carrying case when not in use to protect it from dust and physical damage.
- The built-in battery is designed for long-term use. If battery replacement is ever needed, consult professional service.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on | Low battery or discharged battery. | Charge the device using the USB-C cable. |
| Inaccurate readings | Interference from other electronic devices; device not held correctly. | Move away from other strong electromagnetic sources. Ensure the induction probe is facing the source correctly. |
| Screen is dim or unreadable | Low battery; backlight off. | Recharge the device. Check user manual for backlight activation if applicable. |
