If you see “/hr”, it’s time to
replace the batteries. For maximum
battery life, replace all three at the
same time.
Back From TMDE
One other tip, CBRN specialists. When your AN/VDR-2s
come back from calibration at TMDE, make sure the serial
number of the probe matches that of the base. Sometimes they
get switched and that can cause a major headache for your
property book accounting.

life, replace all three at the same time.
Batteries–
It’s critical you put the
batteries in correctly: First, make sure
the power switch is off.
The large terminal on each of
the three batteries goes in the top
row of the battery compartment
and the small terminals in the
bottom row. If you reverse a
battery, the AN/VDR-2 could
short circuit and overheat.
Remember when you’re
±nished detecting, take out the
batteries. If they’re left in while
the AN/VDR-2 sits for weeks
in storage, the batteries can leak
and cause expensive damage.
Cable–
Check the
cable for fraying at the
connectors. If cable
wires are exposed,
they can short out and
kill detecting.
Betashield–
Make
sure its screw is tight.
Tighten it if it’s loose.
If the screw works out,
the shield comes off
and the probe screen
has no protection.
