  1. 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."
