OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Do not connect to live wires. Use only on unpowered circuits. Momentarily press the ON/OFF O button, the tester will beep once and the red work LED will glow to indicate the tester is on and ready for use. If the red work LED is flashing, it means the battery is almost exhausted, replace the battery to restore operation. If the battery voltage is too low for reliable operation, the tester will beep three times and the red work LED will turn off indicating the tester is not operational.

Momentarily press the ON/OFF button again, the tester will beep twice and the red work LED will turn off to indicate the tester is not operational.
NOTE: To extend battery life, the tester will automatically turn off after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity. When powering down, the beeper will beep twice and all LED will turn off. Refer to the Examples shown below for checking continuity and polarity.
Example 1: Simple Continuity Test without Remote.

Example 3: Tracing Multiple Cables with Remote.

NOTE: If there is a short in the cable between the tester and the remote, the green and red LEDs on the tester will flash rapidly and the remote LED will not glow. Continuity Test with Remote, the Positive (+) polarity test cables resistance range approx. 0-1.2k2, and the Reverse (-) polarity test cables resistance range approx. 0-3.2k0. If the cable resistance out of the test range, some abnomal situation will occur, as shown in the following chart.

Battery Replacement

Loosen the one screw.
Remove the battery cover.
Replace one 9 volt battery.
Install the battery cover and tighten the screw

Fuse Replacement
The fuse will blow if the tester is connected to a live circuit. If the cable voltage does not exceed 100V, replace the fuse with the same specification, usually can resume normal use. Higher voltage will cause permanent damage. Do not use the tester if there are any signs of damage.

Follow the steps below to replace the fuse.

Remove battery, and loosen the 4 screws on back cover.
Open the back cover carefully.
Gently remove fuse and install certified fuse (100mA/250V fast blow, 5x20mm) into the holder. Do not substitute.
Install the back cover and battery cover and tighten the Screws.

NOTE: Do not operate the tester until the back cover is installed and securely fastened.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Keep the meter dry. if it gets wet, wipe it off.
Keep the meter clean. Wipe the dirt with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents.
