5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tester does not power on or display is dim. | Dead or improperly installed battery. | Replace the 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Inaccurate or fluctuating readings. | Poor ground connection; faulty fence line; low battery. | Ensure the ground probe is firmly inserted into moist soil. Check fence line for shorts or damage. Replace battery. |
| No reading when connected to fence. | No power on fence; poor contact with fence wire; ground probe not connected. | Verify fence energizer is working. Ensure firm contact between tester hook and fence wire. Confirm ground probe is in soil. |
