Prior to use, test on a known live circuit to verify tester is functioning. Place the tip of the sensor near an AC voltage source. If the tester detects voltage within the defined detection range, the red light will turn on with a steady glow and the beeper will produce a continuous tone. 4. Carefully slide the battery cover onto the tester making sure the cover is aligned with the slots on the tester body. Make sure the battery cover is completely closed. 3. Replace the batteries (observe polarity). Use two AAA 1.5V batteries. 5. Verify operation by using the tester on a known live AC voltage.

Use other methods to verify live voltage, if there is any uncertainty. • Do not use if the tester appears damaged or if it is not operating properly. If in doubt, replace the tester. • Do not use on voltages that are higher than as marked on the tester. • Use caution with voltages above 30 volts AC as a shock hazard may exist. • Comply with local and national safety requirements - particularly with regard to arc-flash potential. • Use approved personal protective equipment when working on live circuits. 2. To detect AC voltage below 100V, press and hold the button. The tester will detect AC voltage from 24V to 1000V when the button is pressed. When the button released, the detection range will return to 100V to 1000V. 3. Flashlight - Press and hold the button with the symbol to turn on the flashlight. Release the button to turn off the flashlight. NOTES: • The tester is always active and ready to use, providing the batteries are installed and in good condition. • The detector is designed for high sensitivity. Static electricity may momentarily activate the sensor. This is normal operation.
