Personal dose is not accumulated in handheld mode
In the handheld mode, the PED+ and PED-ER+ measures the dose rate which is compensated for
the fact that it is no longer being worn on the body. Therefore, the PED+ should be held away from
the body whenever possible.
Use a PED+ or PED-ER+ in the handheld mode as follows:
1. On the Main menu > Handheld mode .
Attention: If the menu item is not available, enable the feature in DoseVision™.
2. Hold the PED so that the GM tube window is facing forwards or in the direction of the area being measured.
3. View the readings screen that shows the following:
