Operating Instructions
Note: For new meters, remove the battery end cap and then remove the battery insulating strip (if necessary).
AC VOLTAGE DETECTION
1. Touch the probe tip (3) to the hot conductor or insert into the hot side of the electrical outlet.
2. If AC voltage is present, the detector cone will illuminate (4) and the meter will beep.
NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best results, rub the probe tip along a length of the cord to assure getting the tip in close proximity to the live conductor.
NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Remove the end cap (2) by gently twisting.
2. Insert two AAA batteries (observe polarity).
3. Replace the end cap. NOTE: If the meter does not work properly, check the batteries to ensure that theyre fresh and properly inserted.
CLEANING
Please wipe the meter with a damp cloth as needed. Do not use solvents or abrasives when cleaning.
