Detection Antenna: Top-left end of the meter

Probe-Contact EF-Detection (Single-pole):

For more precise indication of live wires, such

as distinguishing between live and ground connections, use one single test probe to test via
terminal COM for direct metal contact probing to achieve the most distinctive indications.
