Caution
We strongly advise reading and understanding this guide before the
instrument is used. In particular note the safety issues that follow:-
Your tester is for use on dead circuits only. Although your Socket &
See instrument is fully protected against accidental connection to a
live circuit it always pays to check the circuit is dead before working
on it.
Your tester is equipped with a very convenient auto test (hands free)
feature but do not touch the lead tips when using this feature.
There may be capacitance on the circuit being tested (a longer than
normal test time will indicate this condition). Your tester will
automatically discharge this but do not disconnect the test leads until
this auto discharge has completed.
On the subject of test leads, always check for damaged leads or croc
clips - Socket & See replacement lead sets are inexpensive and easy
to obtain.
The continuity circuit is fuse protected against accidental connection
to mains (unlikely as there will be a warning to indicate live circuit) -
if this fuse does blow replace it with the correct type F 500mA fast
blow ceramic 500V). It is located inside the batttery compartment.
