1.Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or inse rt into the hot side of the electrical outlet.
2.
If AC
voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate.
NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are o ften tw
isted. For best results, rub the
probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placi ng the tip in close prox
imity to the
liv
