I am new to the meter reading. Just bought one of these two days ago. Am checking everything. I moved my bed to the other side of the room. My question is, when I leave the meter laying on my bed, it reads very low in all three scales. But when I touch the meter, EF shoots up to 45-55. What is going on?

| Hi motherworld, from FAQ thread: "The EF is referring to Electric Field. In most of case, it appears to be Static Electric existed almost on any object surfaces. Include the surface of meter surface and human body. The EF can be transferred from one object surface to another. When you touching the meter, your body EF transferred to the meter, so the meter detected EF changes." |

| Is body-static (that causes the EF readout to soar) anything to be concerned about? Should the user ground themself? What is the correct way to get an accurate EF measurement with the GQ 390? Thank you |

| If you want to measure AC EF, then you dont need to touch the device. It is still better to hold the device while measuring EF though. Since you will know how much EF, static or not, your body is exposed to. |
