2 General safety instructions
2.1 Electromagnetic fields
2.2 Using batteries
WARNING
Strong electromagnetic fields
Very strong electromagnetic fields occur near many radiation
sources.
Observe safety barriers and markings.
In particular, persons with electronic implants must keep away from
dangerous areas.
CAUTION
Unsuitable environmental conditions
Excessively high temperatures and air humidity can result in a short
circuit that can start a fire. Injuries or destruction of the batteries may
result.
Observe the data sheet for storing the device and batteries.
Periodically check whether the storage temperature and air humidity
are within the specified limits.
Do not leave discharged batteries in the measurement device for
extended periods of time.
Do not store the batteries for longer than six months without charging
from time to time.
The batteries must not be stored with other metal objects.
Long storage reduces the capacity of the battery and shortens the
expected functional life. The housing can also be damaged from within
by escaping electrolyte.

2 General safety instructions
8RadMan 2LT/2XT
2.3 Device malfunctions
2.4 Intended use
The RadMan 2LT/2XT radiation monitors are warning devices for the protec-
tion of people who work in areas where increased levels of electromagnetic
radiation are present. Broadcasting, telecommunications and radar antennas
are examples of sources of strong high-frequency radiation. Transmission
systems can often not be completely shut down. Should this be necessary, a
check must be performed to determine whether the shutdown has actually
occurred. In these situations, a personal monitor provides safety. The device
is worn on the body and warns the user in good time before the impermissible
limit values are exceeded.
NOTICE
Malfunction
Improper use, damages and unauthorized repairs can affect the
accuracy and function of the device.
Only operate the device under the conditions and for the purposes for
which it was designed.
Periodically inspect the device for damages.
Only have repairs performed by specialists.
