Energized. The device appears to be functioning correctly.
If the circuit remains Energized, or any other condition is indicated
other than Not Energized, the device being tested may be miswired,
may not be installed correctly, or may not be functioning appropriately.
Consult a qualied electrician.
NOTE: The AFCI button
