OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Switch On Unclamp the probe from the conductor, turn it off using the On Off switch and disconnect the output leads, from external equipment. When the probe is switched on to the required measuring range, the green LED will illuminate. The LED starts flashing when the battery voltage is too low for normal operation and warns the user that it requires changing. This procedure is described below. Loosen the captive screw which secures the battery cover.
