Intentionally tripping the breaker and using the tool to probe can be
considered an added precaution against accidental pressing of the power
switch.

2.8 Work mode

There are four modes to diagnose the electrical systems, which can
be accessed by depressing the Mode Button and cycling through each
one.

DC voltage

While the tool in this mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit, then the LCD
display will read the DC voltage with a resolution of 0.01 volt.(Figure 3)
