NOTE
• This device will not detect DC voltage.
• Before and after each use, verify proper operation by testing on a known ‘live’ circuit (with-
in the stated range of this device).
• Static electricity can randomly trigger this device, this is normal for a device of this type.
• In bright light conditions, the indicators will be less visible.
WARNING
• Please read, understand and follow all warnings, cautions, safety information and in-
structions before operating this device. Failure to do so can result in death or serious
injury.
• Keep hands and fingers on the body of the probe when measuring, do not touch live
circuits.
• Risk of electric shock and burn. Contact with live circuits could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
• This device may not detect voltage if: The user is not holding the tester, the device is at
too long a distance from the voltage source, or if the tested frequency is outside of the
specified range.
• Do not attempt to detect voltages outside the specified range.
CAUTION
• Use caution with voltages > 30 V AC.
• If the device indicates that no voltage is present, voltage may still be present, use cau-
tion and double check your test results.
• Never assume neutral or ground wires are de-energized. Neutrals in multi-wire branch
circuits may be energized when disconnected and must be retested before handling.
• Voltage detection performance is affected by varying electrical socket designs and in-
sulation thickness/type; use caution.
• Do not use this device if it is wet, does not power up properly, appears damaged, or if
does not function properly.
• Always wear protective clothing and eye-ware.
• Do not use this device for purposes that have not been outlined in the user
documentation.
• Do not attempt to repair this device. There are no user-serviceable parts.
• Do not expose this device to extremes in temperature or humidity.
