analog/digital
w/ backlight		 Analog 100 element bar graph 6.4 cm long. Bar graph is divided into 5 major segments, each labeled with the appropriate value for the range of the instrument
Digital 2.5 digit display is followed by a significant zero digit depending on the operating range of the instrument. The units of measurement are indicated on the display at all times. Digits are 6.4 mm (0.25 in) high. Low battery and freeze indicators are also provided on the display
Modes Integrate mode Operates continuously 30 seconds after the instrument has been turned on. Integration is performed even if the instrument is displaying in mR/h or R/h
Freeze mode Will place a tick mark on the bar graph display to hold on the peak displayed value. The unit will continue to read and display current radiation values
