The list below is a brief overview of the steps for running a study.

Quick Help List: typical dosimetry session

1.Turn the dosimeter on and check your battery power.

2.Reset the dosimeter.

3.This will clear out all of the data history before your study begins to ensure you have sufficient memory space on the Edge.

4.Set-up your study parameters via DMS.

5.Calibrate the dosimeter.

6.Attach the dosimeter for your personal noise study.

7.	Press the Run/Stop	button to start the study.
