Page 5: Precaution Measure S
If the product wets, immediately switch off the device and apply to «QUARTA-RAD» Ltd. If a small amount of water has reached its surface or it was exposed to salty air it is necessary to switch off a product, to wipe it with dry fabric, to place it in a warm dry premise and to dry it before a complete evaporation of moisture from its internal. - Page 6 In order to prevent damages to the unit do not use it if a condensate has appeared. If it is so extract power batteries from unit and wait for a while till a condensate evaporates. It is possible to use the device after a complete vaporization of a condensate only.

Page 9: Display Format In Monitoring And Background Modes
Display format in «Monitoring» and «Background» modes After activating the unit displays a screen of RD1706 with button icons and individual or manufacture settings. Location of 14 fields and possible icons are shown on two display pictures below. 1.Icon of battery charge: «... - Page 10 .Icon of « » button (page ). This field contains one of CURSOR the following icons: « » - switching on backlight in «Monitoring» and «Background» modes; « » - moving cursor and altering value of a threshold in «Menu» mode.

Page 12: Operating Mode
Operating mode There are three operating modes in the unit: «Monitoring», «Background» and «Menu». The «Monitoring» mode is set automatically at start of unit's functioning. This mode gives estimation of a dose rate and indications output to the LCD. The time of a dose rate estimation varies from 24 sec when a dose rate is less than 3,5 μSv/h till 1 sec when a dose rate exceeds 72,0 μSv/h. -
Page 13: Monitoring Mode
Monitoring mode This mode gives the value of a dose rate displaying indications on the LCD. Every registered quantum is displayed on LCD as « » icon. Blinking frequency of « » icon is proportional to the strength of a radiation dose rate. -
Page 14: Menu Mode
Menu mode In «Menu» mode you can arrange the magnitude of a threshold signal, turn on/off alarm and vibra-call, enable «Background» mode, estimate the background radiation and also receive reference information. Switching to «Menu» mode ceases monitoring of a dose rate. In order to switch from «Monitoring»... -
Page 15: Levels
«LEVELS» section Exceeding of a threshold dose rate value which can be set in «LEVELS» section provokes to alarm signal actuation. A threshold signal should be switched on when it is necessary to receive alarm or vibra signals in case of a fixed radiation dose rate exceeding. - Page 16 To change the level of a threshold switch from «Monitoring» to «Menu» mode (screen 1) The main menu displays on the screen (screen 2...
- Page 17 Press « » button and the screen 3 will appear. SELECT A double-click on « » button (screens 4 and 5) moves the cursor « » to « 0,30 μSv/h ». Press « » button and the icon « » will be placed opposite to CHANGE «...

Page 18: Background
«BACKGROUND» section «Background» mode can be turned on in this section. It calculates an average value of a background dose rate. To activate «Background» mode switch from «Monitoring» mode to «Menu» mode (screen 1).Amain menu displays (screen 2). Press « »... - Page 20 Press « » button and wait till completion of the cycle of START «BACKGROUND» estimation (screen 13).Avalue in the second line is the evaluation of a dose rate in the second sighting point (screen 14). In order to receive accurate estimation of a background it is necessary to conduct similar observations in 5 sighting points (screen 15).

Page 22: Setup
«SETUP» section Two types of signal can be chosen in «SETUP» section: «AUDIO» and «VIBRA-CALL» which can be turned on/off by placing « » icon opposite to a correspondent choice. Example of activating a vibra signal instead of an audio one is demonstrated below. - Page 23 From this moment a vibra signal turns on if the value of a dose rate exceeds the installed threshold of alert when a threshold function is not turned off (page 1 ). A vibra signal starts functioning in a pulse-mode till the end of an observation cycle.

In «SERVICE» section the following is mentioned: phone number of an organization where a radiation monitor RADEX RD1706 can be acquired, phone number of the QUARTA-RAD Ltd. Company, which sells wholesale a radiation monitor RADEX RD1706; internet address where you can find news www.quarta-rad.ru,... -
Page 25: «Background» Mode
«Background» mode This mode is convenient for examining inside the buildings. In «Background» mode the estimation of the radiation dose rate is similar to the one in «Monitoring» mode (page 1 ), yet the display gives not just one but two indications. One stands for exceeding of a dose rate over background dose rate, the second is for a background dose rate. -
