Dear users,
We would like to draw your attention to the delivery kit of the
UDKG-01A (UDKG-01APro) “Gamma Sapiens” intellectual gamma
radiation detector that includes two AAA batteries. However, the
power for operation can also be supplied by two ААА nickel-metal-
hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries of no less than 800 mАh
capacity instead of batteries that come with the device. You can buy
these rechargeable batteries and their charger at any retail outlet.
Famous manufactures, such as Varta, arehighly recommended.
Choose an automaticbattery charger, preferably with a function to
control chargingof each rechargeablebattery.
Charge rechargeable batteries only when they are fully
discharged. Recharging partially discharged rechargeable batteries on
a repeated basis minimizes considerably their lifespan.
Do not use one rechargeable battery along with a non-
rechargeable one to power the gamma radiation detector. This will
lead to the rechargeable battery failure.

1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.1 Purpose of use
The UDKG-01A (UDKG-01APro) “Gamma Sapiens”
intellectual gamma radiation detector (hereinafter called
the detector) is designed to measure ambient dose
equivalent (DE) and ambient dose equivalent rate (DER)
of gamma radiation and communicate measured data to a
smartphone or a tablet via the Bluetooth radio interface.
The detector is used to:
-monitor personal radiation safety;
-monitor apartments, buildings, and constructions,
household items, clothes, soil surface of grounds,
and vehicles exposed to radiation.
