Personal RF Monitor Instructions

Model: SafeOne™ Personal RF Monitor

Wearing Your Monitor
The SafeOne™ personal RF monitor should be worn on the belt with the supplied belt clip,
or clipped to a harness in the included carry pouch. Position the Personal Monitor clear of
metallic objects, such as a tool pouch. The SafeOne™ personal RF monitor should not be
used with an RF protective suit.

Preparation for Use


To start using SafeOne™ personal RF protection, simply unscrew the battery cover on the
back and insert two AAA alkaline batteries, perform a functional test, and set desired alarm
parameters.

No need to worry about the batteries - the SafeOne™ pocket RF monitor's batteries can
last over 500 days!

The monitor incorporates a self-test function to be used whenever the monitor is turned on.

Interpreting Your Monitor


The SafeOne™ personal RF monitor uses a simple set of audible and visual alarms to alert
you to dangerous radio frequency (RF) fields. Those alarms can be set for your
convenience.

When SafeOne™ RF radiation monitors give an alarm, it means that your RF exposure may
be above FCC, OSHA, or ICNIRP limits. When this occurs, you should leave the area and
proceed in accordance with your company’s RF safety plan or consult the appropriate
workplace authority.

Setting Alarm / Function Features


SafeOne™ has 2 alarm levels and 3 alarm functions. All functions are controlled by
pressing the SELECT pushbutton. When SELECT is pushed there is audio and visual
feedback.

The World Health Organization has established health hazard limits that are accepted in
most parts of the world as standards. In the United States, these are standards of the FCC
and OSHA. The radiofrequency exposure, Maximum Permissable Exposure (MPE) limits are
divided into two levels, one for “General Public” use and one for persons trained to work in
high frequency radiation areas, referred to as “Occupational”.

Your RF monitor can be set to these two alarm levels. The lower "Public" level is
automatically chosen when SafeOne™ personal RF protection is turned on. To choose
"Occupational", press and hold the SELECT pushbutton for more than 5 seconds. The unit
will respond with 10 long or 10 short beeps. The chosen level is indicated by a lighted bar.

By pushing the SELECT button momentarily, the 3 different RF safety alarm functions can
be chosen:

 Normal (one beep): In this position the SafeOne™ personal RF safety monitor will
give both audible and visual warning, when the chosen alarm limit is exceeded.
 Timer (two beeps): SafeOne™ will only give visual warning, when the chosen alarm
limit is exceeded. After approximately 5 minutes SafeOne™ will beep and return to
normal position.
 Silent (three beeps): SafeOne™ will only give visual warning when the chosen RF
safety alarm limit is exceeded.
