2.5 Handling Recommendations
As the DMC 3000 oers the ability to clip it either outside the pocket, (standard or belt clip) or inside
(front side clip), users should remember to wear the dosimeter with its back side facing the body.
(See label on the battery cover.)
As the energy range of the DMC 3000 starts at 15 keV, the detection area of the dosimeter should not be
covered with any heavy material, like metal, in order to ensure the most accurate dose measurement.
Belt clip is strongly discouraged when a module is attached to the dosimeter, because module reduce the gap
of the clip.
The use of a front facing clip is forbidden with an Hp(0,07) beta module, because no material must be in front
of the beta detector.
The DMC 3000 will warn you when the battery needs to be replaced. A completely discharged battery can cause
leakage that may damage your DMC 3000. Thus, dead batteries should be removed or replaced promptly.
Only approved batteries or high quality Alkaline batteries should be used with your DMC 3000 (see Chapter 6).
There are no serviceable parts inside your DMC 3000. Thus, tampering with the case will compromise the
waterproong and void the warranty.
