cell censor question

I'm completely new to this, and need some help. I just picked up a cell sensor EMF reader, and was wondering if anyone else who uses this make could give me some basic instructions. I'm quite confused as to what setting to put it on for a typical investigation. My main questions are: should I switch it to the high or normal setting on the side; should I use probe attachment, or leave that off (since that seems to switch what the EMF reader detects); and should I be looking at the milligauss or the mW/cm2 reading?
Thanks in advance!

Ok here are a couple basics. If you use it with out the probe it is nothing more than a RF (radio frequency) detector. That is not what you are looking for. That is why you need the probe. If you plan on walking around and take reading you will want to keep the switch on normal. If you walk around with it on high it will most likely keep going off. If you plan on setting it down in a room you can then switch it to high. Also when using the probe make sure you are grabbing it by the probe and not holding it by the wire. This can sometimes produce false readings. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Thanks very much, that was very helpful, though I'm still a bit confused. According to the manual, when the high sensitivity setting is switched on, it reads on a scale of 1 to 50 mG...when the normal setting is on, it reads on a scale of 1 to 5 mG. I was doing some reading and saw that readings of 2 and 7 mG are what a lot of people say you should look for. But if the switch is set to "normal" and it detects 7 mG, it seems like that would hardly register on the scale or set off the alarm..am I wrong about that? Any thoughts/comments/suggestions?
Thanks again!

For instance, I was testing my cellphone and my laptop earlier. On the normal setting, the needle hovered around 1 (indicating 10 mG) when I held it over my laptop keyboard. When I switched it to high sensitivity, the needle jumped past 5 and the alarm went off. This would be much easier to see and hear during an investigation than what happened on the normal setting. So if I was looking for possible paranormal activity OR doing baseline readings, would it make more sense to just use the HIGH setting?
Obviously I'm very new at this, which is why I'm asking these (probably) annoying questions, but I'm trying to learn as much as possible before jumping into anything! Thanks so much again for all your help (and patience)!!

Ok this is right out of the equipment manual I have...
The bottom numbers in green are the scale we read. It is marked in milligauss and numbered 1-5. On the right side of the meter there is a switch marked N and H (Normal and High). There is also a volume control knob on the right side for the audible alarm. When the meter is set to the Normal it picks up readings in the 1 to 5 milligauss range. When the meter is set to High the meter picks up readings in the 1 to 50 milligauss range. On the High setting you must add a “0” to the end of each number on the scale (1-5 becomes 10-50).
If I had mine with me at work I could tell you more. I'll def. check it out to try to answer more when I get home.

"The meter measures in two different ELF scales. The 'high sensitivity' scale is 1 to 5 milliGauss while the 'normal sensitivity' scale is 1 to 50 milliGauss. The display, however, is only marked with the 'high sensitivity scale'. It's up to you to read the scale as if though it goes from 1 to 50 when in the 'normal sensitivity' mode."
So IF paranormal phenomena are associated with readings of 2 and 7 mG, it sounds like I should use the high sensitivity setting--though of course a reading of 7 would be off the chart...hahaha so confusing.
Thanks again

IMHO, you don't really need a menagerie of meters to possibly inform you of a spirit presence. You can develop and use your own sensitivity. I use mine in conjunction with a pendulum to determine if latent energy is present.
I guess what I'm trying to impart, is that you should keep things simple, that more equipment does not necessarily equate with one obtaining positive results in "ghost hunting" and may, at times, add some confusion.
My simple pendulum is one made of a tiny, blessed, wood cross attached to a piece of cotton string.

Thanks very much for the advice, but I'm still interested in testing the possibility of there being a link between EMF and "the paranormal". If anyone else can provide more advice on how to use the Cellsensor reader (that unit in particular) and alleviate the confusion I'm having, I'm all ears (or I guess eyes)!!
Still working on that for you. I didn't get a chance to play last night. I def. didn't forget about you though.

It's no trouble. In fact I will test it this weekend. I have an investigation and its a place I have been to before so I know the perfect spots to test it.
