The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For
best results, rub the probe tip along a length of the cord to
assure placing the tip in close proximity to the live conduc-
tor.
The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electric-
ity or other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor.
This is normal operation.
