Which practice is recommended for operating the CD-V700 Rad Meter?

• A. It uses rechargeable batteries only
• B. Batteries remain connected at all times
• C. It should be stored in a sealed case when not in use
• D. Batteries stay out when not in use; Connect cables then turn on to prevent electrocution

Answer: (D)

The main idea is safe power handling and isolation to prevent electric shock. For operating the CD-V700 Rad Meter, it’s best to remove the batteries when the unit isn’t in use and to connect any external cables before turning the device on. Removing the power source when not in use eliminates the chance of accidental energizing, short circuits, or battery leakage causing shock or damage. By attaching all cables first, you ensure there are no live exposed conductors when you power up, reducing the risk of electrocution from hidden or exposed connections.

Keeping batteries connected at all times can leave a live power source present even when you don’t intend to use the meter, which is risky. Storing the device in a sealed case doesn’t address the electrical safety step of ensuring no live connections are exposed before powering up, and the claim about rechargeable batteries only isn’t about safe operation practices.
