to case.
Slide the clip onto
the receiver, pressing
down on battery
until both pieces
snap together.
3. LOCATING A CIRCUIT
Note: A small percentage of circuit boxes are mounted
with breakers oriented vertically. See diagrams for
proper receiver orientation.
Warning: For indoor use only on standard
110–120 Vca outlets.
Plug the transmitter into the outlet that needs to be turned off.
Verify that the red LED glows, indicating a live circuit.
Go to the circuit panel. Turn on the receiver
and hold it against the breaker as shown.
Vertical Breakers
It is important to hold the receiver at an angle so that the entire
CONTACT AREA of the receiver touches each circuit breaker.
Slowly scan the receiver over all breakers. This calibrates the unit.
During this first pass while the unit is calibrating, the receiver
may indicate more than one breaker. This is normal. If you have
more than one panel, be sure to perform this step on each panel.
Do not turn off the receiver.
Perform a second pass over the breakers. When the green
LED glows and the buzzer sounds, you are directly over the
breaker connected to the transmitter.
Turn off the breaker.
Verify that the red LED on the transmitter is off, indicating a dead
circuit, before beginning work.
4. CLEANING AND STORING THE UNIT
Clean transmitter with dry cloth only. Do not expose product
to liquids.
Snap the transmitter and receiver together for storage.
5. HELPFUL HINTS

The first scan was performed Scan again, moving the receiver
too quickly. slowly. Be sure to keep the nose of
the receiver close to the breaker
and maintain proper orientation.
Use an outlet adapter. Screw the
adapter into the socket, then plug
the transmitter into it. Or plug an
extension cord into the adapter,
then plug the transmitter into the
extension cord.
