SAFETY INFORMATION

 Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or

personal injury:

• If the Tester is used in a manner not specified

by the manufacturer, protection provided by

the Tester may be affected.

• Test on a known live source within the rated

AC voltage range of the product both before

and after use to ensure the Tester is in good

working condition.

• When using the Tester, voltage may be

present even if the tip does not glow. The

Tester indicates active voltage in the presence

of electrostatic fields of sufficient strength

generated from the source voltage. If the field

strength is low, the Tester may not provide

indication of live voltage. Lack of an indication

occurs if the Tester is unable to sense the

presence of voltage which may be influenced

by several factors including, but not limited to:

- Position of the earth conductors in the

environment under test

- Shielded wire/cables

- Thickness and type of insulation

- Distance from the voltage source

- Fully-isolated users that prevent an

effective ground

- Receptacles in recessed sockets / differences

in socket design

- Condition of the Tester and batteries

• The Tester is not the appropriate tool to check

for the absence of voltage. Use a voltage

tester therefore.

• Do not use the Tester if it appears damaged or

is not operating properly. Closely examine the

probe tip for cracks or breakage before use. If

in doubt, have the Tester serviced.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage as

marked on the Tester.

• When operating the Tester, keep fingers

behind the finger guard.

• Do not use the Tester if it is not flashing upon

power on.

• Use caution with voltages above 30 V AC as a

shock hazard may exist.

• Comply with local and national safety requirements.

• Use proper protective equipment as required

by local or national authorities.
