2. Activating audio signal function:
To turn the product on, briefly press the On/Off button (3) once. An audio signal will sound.
At the same time, the testing indicator (2) briefly lights up red and then changes to green.
The voltage detector is ready for operation. During test operation, an audio signal will
sound when AC voltage has been detected.
3. Muting audio signal function:
To turn the product on, press and hold the On/Off button (3) for approx. three seconds. The
testing indicator (2) briefly lights up red and then changes to green. The voltage tester is
ready for operation. No audio signal will sound during test operation.
4. Press and hold the On/Off button (3) for approx. three seconds to turn the voltage detector
off. Two long audio signals indicate the product is being turned off.
5. The product powers off automatically after five minutes of inactivity. Two long audio signals
indicate the product is being turned off.
b) Test operation
1. Before each use, test the product with a known operating circuit within the product’s
permitted voltage range.
2. Move the testing tip (1) close to the detection area. When AC voltage has been detected,
the testing indicator (2) switches from green to red and starts flashing. At the same time, an
audio signal sounds (only in test operation with the audio signal function enabled).
3. The audio signal’s frequency rises with increased proximity to the voltage source.
If there is no indication, voltage could still be present. Operation can be affected by
design variations in the connector socket and / or the thickness and / or the type of the
insulation. The device cannot detect voltage inside armoured cable or cable in conduit,
behind panels or in metallic enclosures.
c) LED Torch
1. Press and hold the LED light button (6), to turn the LED torch (7) on.
2. Release the button (6) to switch the torch off.

DISPOSAL
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household
waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory
regulations.
Remove any inserted (rechargeable) batteries and dispose of them separately from
the product.
b) (Rechargeable) batteries
You as the end user are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all used batteries/
rechargeable batteries. Disposing of them in the household waste is prohibited.
Contaminated (rechargeable) batteries are labelled with this symbol to indicate that
disposal in the domestic waste is forbidden. The designations for the heavy metals
involved are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable)
batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality,
our stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
