Interference
Strike Alert is designed to be used outdoors. While Strike Alert will work indoors, its ability to detect lightning strikes can be affected by common sources of electromagnetic emissions, such as:
CRTs - (televisions or computer monitors)
Motors and engines
High-powered electronics equipment
Moving Strike Alert a safe distance away from these devices (usually a few feet) should allow the detector to return to normal operation. If Strike Alert is receiving interference due to such electromagnetic emissions, the green LED will blink or may give a false lightning indication. The static generated by some garments may also produce a false indication. Again, moving the detector just a few feet away from the source of the interference should allow Strike Alert to resume normal operations. This will be indicated by the green LED remaining constantly lit.
