Hello,

I was several time woke up in the middle of the night by the frightening dosimeter alarm. The first time it happened it was quite horrible and stressful to be honest, the second time was just very annoying and now I have to keep reminding myself to reset the dosimeter count regularly...

This is really annoying.

What I do not understand is why does the exposition counter increases under "normal" non-dangerous radiation level. This is not useful at all, it should only start counting above a certain threshold.

Is there any way to disable the dosimeter feature when we do not want to use it?

My device is a GMC-500+ rev.2.37, maybe there is a firmware update for this?

Thanks for sending me the updater, I've just successfully updated my device and all went fine.
However I've not seen any difference in the Dosimeter settings, the counter is till increasing while I'm at an average of 13 CPM. Are there new options available that I've not seen?

The alarm should be higher with the new update.

Indeed, now it tells me 516 days left until the 10000000 count is reached.
