Hi
Just bought 320 Plus.
A nice unit.
The only problem is working time when on battery.
In save mode 3 days max.72 hours.
On another hand Terra P 6000 hours in sleeping mode.
Why is so different ?
Another problem I'm not sure if the unit works :)
What I have everywhere in the house and the street is 0.04-0.09 uSv/h

regards

The GMC-320 has much more features than Terra P.

Those useful features need power to operate. If you want to continually monitor the back ground, then use an external power. I have a GMC-320 continually worked for more than 300 days.

If you detect your house is 0.04-0.09 uSv/h, then I should say congratulation to you . Your area is clean for now.

If you want to test the unit, then you can use following item:

Hi
Thank you for quick response.
Can we get sleeping mode in new firmware?
I mean checking level of radiation only. With no additional bells and whistles, no display, no LED, no sound, nothing. To save the battery.

There is a Power Saving Mode. You can enable it from user option menu item.

That will turn off the LCD and sound. But the alarm , LED and data saving you need to turn off them manually.

Hi

For some unknown reason Power Save Mode was OFF.
I was 100% sure I turned in ON last time :)
How will unit inform me when low on battery ?

Thank you.

The unit shows "Low Battery" message every 5 seconds if the battery goes low.

OR you can use a power bank as external power. A good 10A power bank can extend the running up to a month.

I'm trying to post some info about tests what I did with field chargers for the unit, but I can't insert the pictures somehow.
Is not like on other forums.

The image insert need in the editing mode.
So, you need to make a quick reply, then click on Edit button to edit your reply, then click on Insert Image link, the small paper clip icon.
