Risk of electric shock. For use on unpowered wiring
only. Never connect tester to live voltage.
Press the button for approx. one second. The tester will beep once and the LED

the battery voltage is too low for reliable operation. Refer to Battery Replacement
in the manual and replace the battery immediately.
NOTE: The tester does not turn off automatically. Press the
tester off after use. The tester will beep twice and the LED adjacent to the button
will turn off.
