How
often does the battery in my MpD need to be replaced?
The
battery in the MpD has enough stored energy to power the unit for over 4 years
on standby; and if you tested a magnet once every 15 minutes for 8 hours a day,
the MpD will last for 2 years or over 23,000 uses.
Can
the MpD tell the strength of the magnet?
The
MpD was designed to determine if a magnetic field meets the minimum published
requirements for magnetic therapy. The MpD will respond to a field strength
of 30 gauss at the surface of its case bottom and give an accurate indication
of the magnetic polarity. It is possible to determine the relative strength
of magnets by turning the MpD on and slowly move it closer to a magnet until
the indicator light flashes. Note the distance between the magnet and the bottom
of the MpD case, the strength of a magnet field will change with both the distance
from the magnet and the area of the magnet surface.
Will
the MpD interfere with other electronic devices?
No.
The MpD does not emit any significant radiation or magentic fields and should
interfere with other devices.
Can
the MpD damage my magnetic therapy jewelry?
No.
The MpD only measures the strength and polarity of the magnetic field; it does
not pull power from the magnet tested and will not reduce the magnet’s
power.
Can
a strong magnetic field damage the MpD?
No.
Though the MpD is very sensitive, it is designed to not be affected by very
strong magnetic fields.
The
lights on my MpD will not flash when I place it near my magnetic jewelry. Is
it broken?
The
most likely cause is the field strength from the magnets in your jewelry. Try
placing the MpD near a known good magnet to verify that the device is responding
to magnetic fields.
Is
the MpD waterproof?
No.
The case is closed tightly to protect from the elements; however, it is not
water tight.
Why
are there two buttons on the MpD if it only needs one?
During
the design of the MpD several subjects were observed using the device. About
50% chose to hold the unit in their hand with the thumb over the button; the
other half held it between the thumb and middle finger while pressing the button
with their index finger. It was decided to have two button locations (one slightly
forward of the device center and one toward the back) to accommodate either
method of use.
Can
you turn the MpD off to save battery power?
The
MpD is designed to always be under standby power to assure that it is ready
for use when you need it. The amount of power used in standby is so small that
the drain on the battery is insignificant.
Why
does the MpD flash both lights every time the button is pushed?
Every
time the button is pushed, the MpD is awakened from standby mode and performs
a self check of the internal circuitry including the pole indicator lights.
This process assures accurate and consistent operation each time it is used.
Can
the MpD tell if my magnetic jewelry will be therapeutic?
No.
The MpD is not a medical device and the results taken from the MpD cannot be
used for any medical purpose including the ability of magnetic devices to produce
therapeutic results. The MpD is used to verify that the minimum magnetic field
and polarity of magnetic therapy devices will at least meet the recommendations
cited in publications.
How
sensitive is the MpD?
The
MpD is designed to accurately detect and determine the polarity of magnetic
fields as low as 30 Gauss. This is the magnetic field strength recommended in
literature that must be present for any therapeutic effect to be realized.
