Preparation

Before using the tester, check it against a functioning circuit. If the tester fails to perform as expected, refer to the following list until the problem is solved:

1. The probe tips are corroded.
2. The battery is weak or discharged.
3. A test lead is damaged.
4. The tester is damaged and needs to be repaired.

Operation

To Locate a Hot Conductor (AC Circuits Only)

1. Touch the fixed probe of the tester to the terminal or conductor.
   Note: Do not allow the loose probe to contact anything.
2. Read the meter and listen for tone. See the Hot Conductor Locator Table to determine whether the fixed probe is on a hot, neutral, or ground conductor.

To Check for Continuity or To Measure Voltage (AC or DC Circuits)

1. Touch one probe tip to either terminal or conductor; touch the other probe tip to the other terminal or conductor.
2. Read the meter and listen for tone. See the Continuity Check and Voltage Measurement Table to determine whether the fixed probe is on a hot, neutral, or ground conductor.

Maintenance

General

• Keep tester clean and dry.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Let dry completely before using.

Battery Condition

• Battery level is low when continuity test L.E.D. and indication tone begin to lose strength.

To Replace Batteries

1. Remove battery cover by prying with a small screwdriver.
2. Remove batteries from holder.
3. Insert new batteries according to polarity indicators, replace holder and cover.
