OPERATING & MAINTENANCE TIPS
• The MSV100 requires a fully charged battery to function accurately. When
the battery becomes low on charge, the
display icon will appear and
begin to blink continuously. To replace the battery, follow the instructions
on p. 6.
• To avoid affecting the operation of the MSV100, do not hold its upper half
in your hand. Hold the lower half of the instrument with one hand and keep
your other hand at least 6 inches away.
• The MSV100 will not detect DC circuits (doorbell and twisted-pair
telephone lines, for example) as live wires. It also cannot detect live AC
wires inside metal pipes or conduit.
• Walls covered with metallic wallpaper and drywall with aluminum foil
backing will prevent the MSV100 from detecting wood, metal or AC
voltage.
• Do not use the MSV100 near a strong electromagnetic field or in the
presence of high-frequency radiation.
• Remove the battery whenever you do not expect to use the MSV100 for an
extended period of time (months).
• Do not immerse or get water on the instrument. To clean its housing, use a
soft cloth.
