Indication: Bar-graph segments & audible beep tones proportional to the field strength 
Detection Frequency: 50/60Hz 
Detection Antenna: Inside the top side of the stationary jaw 
Probe-Contact EF-Detection: For more precise indication of live wires, such as 
distinguishing between live and ground connections, use one single probe to test via 
terminal COM for direct contact EF-Detection with best sensitivity.
