EFFECTS OF OBJECTS LOCATED NEAR THE TESTER DURING A TEST
As with objects located in close proximity to the radiating source (antenna), so it is with objects
located near the tester while measuring the field strength. To minimize these effects and
obtain more reliable results, it is best to place the tester on a non-conductive surface at the
calibrated distance. This surface can be for example a wooden platform made specifically for
this purpose or perhaps a plastic or fiberglass ladder that lacks metallic parts larger than a
couple of inches in length. Once set up, the tests should be observed at a distance no closer
than 2 feet, and the results will remain in the tester and once completed, can be viewed while
holding the tester.
NOTE: ONLY RUN FIELD STRENGTH TESTS USING THE TEST MODE FEATURE OF THE BEACON.
DO NOT USE THE NORMAL MODE AS IT WILL TRIGGER A SEARCH ALARM.
