The fluorescent light fixture must be turned on for this test. The blinking red LED is a self-test feature for visual confirmation of battery and power on. It provides a double flash every 2 seconds.  Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury: • Do not use VoltAlert if the LED test indicator does not blink when you enable the function. • Test VoltAlert on a known voltage source before and after use to make sure the Product functions properly. • Completely collapse the rod extender during the VoltAlert test. • Do not allow the rod extender to contact live voltage. • When using VoltAlert, if the test indicator does not glow or the beeper does not sound, hazardous voltage could still be present. VoltAlert indicates active voltage in the presence of electric fields of sufficient strength generated by the source (MAINS) voltage. If the field strength is low, the Product may not provide indication of hazardous voltages. Lack of an indication may occur if the Product is unable to sense the presence of voltage which may be influenced by several factors including, but not limited to: - Shielded wire/cables - Adjacent grounded conductors - Thickness and type of insulation - Distance from the voltage source - Fully-isolated users that prevent an effective ground - Receptacles in recessed sockets and/or differences in socket design - Condition of the Product and batteries MyFlukeStore.com 1.888.610.7664 8
