Safe and Sound PRO II RF Meter: Detect 5G & WiFi Signals

If you've ever wanted to truly understand the invisible waves swirling around your home or workspace—or if you're simply looking to make your space safer from the barrage of modern wireless signals—the Safe and Sound PRO II RF Meter might just be the tool that changes the way you see (and hear) your environment. In this in-depth blog, I'm going to break down what makes this RF meter tick, why it's trusted by both pros and everyday folks, and how you could use it to put some serious power behind your decisions about EMF exposure.

The World Is Wired: Why RF Measurement Matters

It’s all around us—WiFi, Bluetooth, cell towers, smart meters, baby monitors, routers, microwaves, and now, more recently, 5G. Our world is bathed in radio frequencies (RF), and while most of us don’t notice a thing, some folks experience discomfort or even symptoms from prolonged exposure. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is my home blasted by cell tower signals?” or “Is my router putting out too much EMF?”—you’re not being paranoid. These are real questions in our hyper-connected age.

But here’s the problem: you can’t see or touch these waves. Old EMF meters had clunky displays (or none at all), weird scales, and could barely manage a couple of common frequencies. Most won’t even catch the higher bands used by 5G, which are increasingly prevalent in cities and businesses. That’s where the Safe and Sound PRO II RF Meter sets itself apart.

Getting to Know the Safe and Sound PRO II RF Meter

Let’s start with the basics. This is a compact, handheld device—think TV remote size—that reads radio frequency and microwave radiation from 200 MHz to 8 GHz, with a super reliable true-response range from 400 MHz to 7.2 GHz. What does that mean practically? It catches everything from cell phones and Bluetooth all the way to smart meters and both WiFi frequencies, as well as the low and mid bands of 5G.

And it’s not just about numbers. The device features a high-resolution OLED display for crisp readings in any light—so you instantly see peak, max peak, and average measurements. It’s easy to use, even for complete beginners, but also offers “pro” features for measurement geeks (like Max Hold, a helpful function that tracks the highest levels detected since you turned it on).

Feature-Driven: Why Pros (and You) Will Love It

Wide Frequency Range, Real Accuracy: The meter’s accredited testing and 3rd party certification give peace of mind to engineers, consultants, and anyone who wants hard proof. Whether you’re in the city near multiple towers, or just curious about your home’s smart appliances, this meter covers almost every common RF emitter in today’s world.

Sensitivity That Matters: Ever tried lower-priced meters that barely register unless you’re parked next to a cell phone? The PRO II picks up readings from as low as 0.001 µW/m² up to an incredible 3,180,000 µW/m² (that’s three million, in case you’re counting). So yes—it’ll help the EMF-sensitive, but also works for spot checks near powerful sources like microwave ovens or routers.

See It and Hear It: OLED and Audio Features- Visual isn’t enough. The built-in speaker and headphone jack let you “hear” the pulse patterns of wireless signals—so you can distinguish a cell tower from a WiFi router, baby monitor, or DECT phone. Smart, right? With a little practice, you’ll recognize the sonic fingerprints of major RF sources in any environment.

User-Friendly Extras: From the bright OLED display (four lines for easy reference) to the powerful Max Hold and bar graph/LED system, every feature is engineered for simplicity and insight. Want to do a quick sweep? The LEDs show you relative field strength at a glance. Need extended testing? Pop in two AA batteries for 12-15 hours, or use USB for continuous monitoring—no need to worry about downtime in critical surveys.

Portable and Durable: The PRO II comes with a hard shell carrying case and a straightforward setup. It’s rugged enough for field work, easy enough for home use, and doesn’t force you into complicated calibration rituals.

Real-World Applications: Measuring, Mapping, Protecting

Ever tried to sort out why you’re having trouble sleeping—or why you get headaches in your office? EMF exposure is a growing concern, and while science is still sorting out the health impacts, many users feel dramatic relief after reducing RF intensity in their space.

Some practical ways users deploy the Safe and Sound PRO II:
Smart Meter Surveys: Pinpoint RF exposure from utility meters, especially in multi-unit housing.
Wireless Router Checks: Identify “hot” zones in your house and place your router smartly.
Cell Tower Audits: Assess outdoor and indoor levels, especially near schools, apartments, or businesses.
Bluetooth and Baby Monitor Verification: Ensure child’s room stays within acceptable RF levels.
Microwave Leakage Detection: Confirm proper operation (and safety!) of kitchen appliances.
Office EMF Mapping: Find unexpectedly high exposures near workstations, printers, routers, and more.

Many users go beyond simple avoidance, implementing EMF shielding, rearranging furniture, and even adjusting device usage based on meter readings. It’s personal—but real data makes real decisions.

Easy Setup & Operation: No Tech Degree Needed

Unbox the meter, pop in the included AA batteries, and you’re off. Turn on the power, and the display boots up with the current RF reading in your space. Sweep the meter through different rooms or zones, watch the numbers and bar graph dance, listen for the audio cues, and compare field strengths with a quick glance at the color-coded LEDs:
Green: Safe zone
Yellow / Orange: Moderate exposure
Red (Flashing): High RF intensity—consider mitigation!

Need to check the absolute “spike”? Activate Max Hold, do your sweep, and hit Max Reset to start fresh. Battery worries? Just plug in via USB for continuous data collection—a lifesaver during longer professional audits or home experiments.

Inside the Box: What Do You Get?

You get the Safe and Sound PRO II RF Meter, user guide, calibration certificate, 2 AA alkaline batteries, and a sturdy zippered carrying case. For environmental consultants or anyone needing documentation, calibration data is essential—this is the rare consumer EMF meter that includes it.
