OPERATION
SWITCH ON/OFF AND SELF-TEST
The self-test checks the functionality of the device and battery. Always verify the
self-test on a known live AC voltage within the detection voltage range.
· Press the power button ON/OFF [3] to switch on the device. You hear one beep
sound. This means that the device passes the self-test and is switched on.
· A light inside the LED indicator [4] is switched on. A yellow light indicates the
device is switched on low voltage mode. The green/yellow light ash fast every
5 seconds. This indicates the device performed a self-test and all work correctly.
· Press the power button ON/OFF [3]. The device beeps two times and the light
in LED indicator [4] disappears. This means the device is switched off.
· Automatic switch-off:
- when the device is not in use for about 5 minutes
- when the battery runs out (you will hear two beep sound)

onds, you will see the light inside the LED indicator [4] will switch from yellow to
green or from green to yellow.
· Hold the power button ON/OFF [3] againfor 2 seconds to return to the initial

CARRY OUT VOLTAGE TEST
LOW VOLTAGE MODE (DETECTION VOLTAGE RANGE: 12V TO 1000V AC)
When the device is switched on, please check the device is working on low volt-
age mode (=yellow light in LED indicator [4])
· Place the Detector tip [5] near a test object and move the device smoothly
along the test object.
· When the device detects an AC voltage in the range between 12V and 1000V
AC, the yellow light in LED indicator [4] is replaced by ashing red light and the
device starts to beep.
HIGH VOLTAGE MODE (DETECTION VOLTAGE RANGE: 100V TO 1000V AC)
When the device is switched on, please check the device is working on high volt-
age mode (=green light in LED indicator [4])
· Place the Detector tip [5] near a test object and move the device smoothly
along the test object.
· When the device detects an AC voltage in the range between 100V and 1000V
AC, the green light in LED indicator [3] is replaced by ashing red light and the
device starts to beep.
