2.0 OPERATION:
Before use test the battery by pressing the power button (#6) on the top side of the tester. If the battery is good
then the light will flash and speaker will chirp momentarily. If indicators do not function then replace the battery.
This unit operates from 1 AAA battery. To replace the battery, slide the pocket clip (#5) up as indicated by the
arrow on the side of the pocket clip. Insert a new battery and slide the pocket clip back into place.
To test for voltage - Press the power button to turn on the tester. This will also turn on the LED flashlight.
The tester and flashlight will remain on until the power button is pressed again. See Fig. 1 - Place sensor on
or near the wire, device or circuit to be tested. If AC Voltage between 50-1000 VAC is present the red LED and
flashlight will flash and the speaker will beep continuously.
Static Electricity - The tester is subject to electrical static interference. If the LED or tone actives a single time, it is detecting the static
electricity in the air. When detecting voltage, the LED and tone will activate repeatedly.
