| [title] How to use the Non-Contact Voltage detector | |
| [* icon_note] The Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) function allows you to sense AC power in a circuit or wire without having to electrically connect to it. | |
| [* red] The NCV sensor sits inside the plastic nub at the top of the iFixit multimeter. [link|https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/41S5NEViCqHb6KgQ.full|The metal strip|new_window=true] inside acts as an "antenna" that detects electromagnetic waves. | |

| + | [* icon_note] ***The NCV won't detect if there's DC power in a circuit or wire.*** |
| [* icon_caution] ***The NCV may not always detect a live circuit or wire. ***If you're working above 20V AC (a potentially dangerous level), never rely on the NCV as your sole point of information. | |
| [* icon_note] The iFixit multimeter's NCV function detects ~45V AC and above. | |
| [* orange] To use the NCV function, turn the function dial to the ***NCV *** mode. |
