BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Access the battery compartment by gently pressing the pocket clip release
latch and sliding the cover down.
2. Insert three LR44 button batteries (observe polarity).
3. Replace and latch the cover
NOTE: If your meter does not work properly, check the battery to make sure
that it still good and that it is properly inserted.

5. NCV detector
6. NCV indicator cone
7. NCV measurement button
8. Battery compartment release latch.
AC VOLTAGE DETECTION
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector
on a known live circuit to verify proper operation
1. PRESS and HOLD the NCV button.
2. The cone tip will light up for approximately 2 seconds and then turn off,
ensuring that the LED is working correctly. Continue holding the NCV button.
3. Place the probe tip near the hot conductor or next to the hot side of the
electrical outlet.
4. If AC voltage is present, the detector cone will produce a steady constant
glow.
NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best results, rub
the probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placing the tip in close proximity
to the live conductor.
NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other
sources of energy will randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation.
IR TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
NOTE: The IR thermometer has a distance to target ratio of 1:1. For the most
accurate readings position the meter as close as possible to the target..
1. Point the IR sensor toward object to be measured,
2. PRESS and HOLD the IR button.
3. The meter will turn ON, “SCAN” will flash in the display and the measured
surface temperature will appear in the display.
4. Release the MEASURE button, “HOLD” will appear and the last measured
value will remain in the display until the meter turns off (approximately 30
seconds).
Displaying °F or °C
The temperature units selection switch
is located in the battery compartment.
