I purchased a GQ GMC-500plus brand-new. Not much is being read by it. There's a click every few minutes. However, I'm getting nothing when I try to test fresh vials of tritium, trinitite, uranium glass, and even my smoke alarms.
Is my unit broken, or am I overlooking anything in the setup? |

Please try to do a factory reset. If cpm still goes to 0, you will need to go with warranty. |

After 15 minutes, my CPM is 0 on average. not even ambient radiance.

The background should be near CPM=20. You say you are getting like CPM=0.3? That sure is too low.
Do the usual things: make a factory reset. Take out the battery for a few seconds and reinsert, restart. Any changes?
It should show the anode voltage in the menu. How many Volts does it show? |
