“It's pretty simple, actually. You use it and it tells you how many rads you have. As long as you keep your rad count under 100, you should be fine. Go above 100 and you're in some trouble. The worst part is you won't even know you've been sucking up rads until a few days later. Get over 1000 and you're cooked - unless you get a hold of a whole lot of Rad-Away.”— Jacob
The Geiger counter is a Wattz Electronics C-Radz model Geiger counter. It detects the presence and strength of radiation fields.

- ↑ Fallout 2 Official Strategies & Secrets: p. 80: "The Geiger Counter is just the thing when you're not sure if the area you're in will make you glow in the dark. Activate the Geiger Counter by placing it into one of your active slots (hands) to see if you're being cooked by gamma radiation, which makes it easier to know when to pop a few Rad-X."
