Usage guide:

(1) Put the 9V battery in the ED88, Handle the unit with right hand in vertical direction, and push the power
switch button to turn on the power, it will come up with RF meter mode.
(2) The RF sensor is located in the left hand side of the ED88; the LF sensor is located in the right
hand top side of the ED88, the E-field sensor is located in the middle top side of the ED88, please do
not cover the sensor area with hand or other objects.
(3) There are two push button below the power switch: “Mode” button and “Hold” button. “Mode”
button is used to switch in between RF mode, two LF modes, and E-field mode. The “Hold” button is
used to freeze the data reading of the ED88
(4) RF mode: measured RF field strength/power density is shown on the digital LCD display
(with dBm, v/m, or mw/m²). 8 LED lights with Red, Yellow, and Green color on the right hand
side of LCD window are used for quick RF signal level indications. 3 Red LEDs are used to
indicate the 3 safety ranges. The power level of each LED can be found in the table on the
ED88 front panel.
(5) LF mode: measured LF magnetic field strength is shown on the digital LCD display (with uT
and mGauss). Two LF modes can be selected by “Mode” button: (a) LF30mode (0.1mG-10mG)
and (b)LF600 mode (1mG-600mG). 8 color LED lights are also available to show the relative

strength of the magnetic field.
(6) E-field mode: measured ELF electric field strength is shown on the digital LCD display with V/m. ED88 use 8 high brightness LED to indicate the measured power density with 3 safety
(7) Histogram: previous 30 signal level readings are recorded and shown as moving graph indications.
