What should I do if the LED light is not working?

Check the LED light's connections. If the light still does not work, the unit may need service or replacement.

What is signal locking?

Signal locking indicates the correct direction to a short to ground, helping you pinpoint the fault's location.

How long is the auto shut-off time?

The auto shut-off time is 10 minutes.
