Voltage Measurements Connect both test probes with power source. The voltage is displayed via LEDs below the measured voltage value will light up, the different indicating signals of the voltage detector (including the ELV limit indication) are not to be used for measuring purposes, the voltage is also shown on the LCD display.

Cleaning Prior to cleaning, remove voltage test from all measurement circuits. If the instruments are dirty after daily usage, it is advisable to clean them by using a damp cloth and a mild household detergent. Never use acid detergents or dissolvents for cleaning. After cleaning, do not use the voltage tester for a period of approx.
