- Page 2 Introduction The Mito Meter is a compact, simple to use, but sophisticated, general purpose (Electromagnetic Field) meter that can measure EMF intensity from: cell towers, mobile phones, smart meters, Wi-Fi routers, various cordless devices, magnetic and electric elds from power lines, fuse boxes, home appliances and more.
- Page 3 IMPORTANT NOTICE This detector shows the intensity of measurements using 9 LEDs: Green,Yellow and Red. (Green = low, Red = high) These colors are intended as a visual guide , and not to indicate safe or unsafe readings. Furthermore, this device is intended to allow non-professionals to measure EMF levels with a simple, intuitive interface.

Page 6: Operation
Operation The Mito Meter is a 3-mode detector, these modes are: • RF - Radio Frequency • LFM - Low Frequency Magnetic • LFE - Low Frequency Electric It is recommended to fully charge the device before using it for the rst time. To do so, use the supplied mini-USB cable to connect to a USB charger or computer. - Page 7 EMF Levels Charging (Hidden when not active) USB Connection EMF MeterManual (A6) V1.indd 7 2/14/18 1:41 PM...

Page 10: Performing Measurements
Performing Measurements Switch on the device and select a measurement mode: There are 9 levels of intensity shown by 9 LEDs: from GREEN through YELLOW to RED. By matching the LED reading with the appropriate numbers on the chart, numerical values can be noted. The device uses directional antennas for the measurements, thus it is necessary to carefully rotate the device in all directions at any location a... - Page 11 EMF Levels EMF MeterManual (A6) V1.indd 11 2/14/18 1:41 PM...
- Page 12 Understanding the Readings mW/m = Milliwatts per square meter Used to measure the power density of an RF (Radio Frequency) source. Use this value when measuring EMF from: cell towers, smart meters, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cordless phones and microwave ovens. mG = Milligauss Used to measure AC (Alternating Current) magnetic eld intensity, such as from AC power lines, fuse boxes, and home appliances.
- Page 13 Notes on Signal Sources • Be aware that some EMF sources in the home, such as cell phones, smart meters, and Wi-Fi emitters (RF signals), change levels very rapidly due to protocol de nitions. • Cell phones will adjust their levels based on the signal strength from the cell tower and any intervening obstacles to that signal.
- Page 14 Using and Installing the Software The Mito Meter software (which is a download) can be used to record and view readings from the Meter once it is connected to a PC using the supplied mini-USB cable. Files are saved in CSV format, and can be imported into Microsoft Excel or other similar software.
