Operating Instructions
CAUTION: Read, understand and follow Safety Rules and Operating Instructions in this manual before using this product.
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector on a known live circuit to verify proper operation
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Keep hands and fingers on the body of the probe and away from the probe tip
AC VOLTAGE DETECTION 
- Press the audible tone switch (1) to set the audible tone ON or OFF (IN: ON; OUT: OFF)
- Touch the probe tip (3) to the hot conductor or insert it into the hot side of the electrical outlet.
- If AC voltage is present, the detector light will flash (2) and the audible warning will sound (if enabled). The unit triggers when held within 0.2” (5.1mm) of a 110VAC receptacle. Higher voltages (up to 300V) trigger the alarm at approximately 4 to 6” (10.2 to 15.2cm).
NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation
Battery Installation
- Open the battery door (end cap) by gently prying up/out at the pocket clip using a small screwdriver.
- Insert two AAA batteries and replace the door.
