• Although the unit automatically checks the charge of its batteries each time it is powered on, it is good practice to confirm that the VS3000A is operating normally before you use it to test for the presence of AC voltage. It is important that you do this each time you use the instrument. - Page 5 • Physically separate the multiple lines of 2-phase and 3-phase circuits before testing them. • Do not use the VS3000A if it appears to be damaged or malfunctioning. • Do not expose the tester to temperatures above 122°F, relative humidity greater than 85%, or voltages higher than 1000V.
