- Connect the Alligator Clip: Connect the big alligator clip to a good ground point in the circuit you want to check.
- Put the Probe in: Put the stainless steel probe into the circuit or wire that is being checked.
- Check Voltage Rating: For reliable testing, make sure that the circuit’s voltage is between 3V and 60V.
- Turn on the Tester. If there is a power switch, flip it on. If not, it might turn on itself when you connect it.
- Look at the Screen: While the probe is in touch with the circuit, look at the LCD screen to see how much voltage is showing.
- Watch the Signal Lights: To make sure the orientation is correct, look at the red and green signal lights.
- Test More Than One Circuit: Get used to the tester by testing different circuits to see how it works.
- Connect When Not In Use: When checking is done, take the probe and alligator clip off the circuit.
- Keep the tester in a safe, dry place when not in use to keep it from getting broken.
- Do Regular Functionality Checks: Make sure the device is working right by testing known circuits on a regular basis.
- Use a Replacement Bulb When Necessary: If the LED indicator goes out or dims, check the manual for how to change it.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Clean the tester regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean and free of dust and other things that could get stuck on it.
