a. When the green lamp (GOOD) lights and the buzzer
sounders, the charge-protection shoes are
functioning properly.
The resistance range indicator lamps can also be used
to check the resistance characteristic of the chargeprotection shoes when the judgement is GOOD. The
LED lamps represent the following ranges.
Ranges I to III are not precise values (±10%) and are intended to serve only as

II
1×106Ω ~ 1×107Ω
III
1×107Ω ~ 1×108Ω
a reference.
b. A judgement of
LOW indicates that the
resistance value was below 1 × 10
5
.
Investigate the cause of the problem and take the
proper steps to correct it. Change your chargeprotection shoes if necessary.
Possible causes:
Y our charge-protection shoes are worn.
A piece of metal is imbedded in the sole of one of your
shoes.
c. A judgement of HIGH indicates that the resistance
value was below 1 × 10
8
.
Investigate the cause of the problem and take the
proper steps to correct it. Change your chargeprotection shoes if necessary.
Possible causes:
Y ou are wearing thick socks.
Y our charge-protection shoes are defective, dirty , etc.
