1. An elongate probe for alerting a user to the presence of electrical energy comprising:
- an antenna to sense radiated electrical energy;
an indicator to alert a user when activated;
circuitry for determining when the sensed electrical energy meets a user adjustable threshold and activating the indicator when the sensed electrical energy meets the user adjustable threshold; and
an adjustor for selecting the user adjustable threshold, wherein the elongate probe has a length of at least 2 feet.

Abstract
An elongate probe of at least 2 feet in length for alerting a user to the presence of electrical energy includes an antenna to sense radiated electrical energy and an indicator to alert a user when activated. Circuitry determines when the sensed electrical energy meets a user adjustable threshold and activates the indicator when the sensed electrical energy meets the user adjustable threshold. An adjustor allows for selecting the user adjustable threshold.

7. A method for detecting a source of electrical energy in an area comprising:
-
providing an elongate probe for alerting a user to the presence of electrical energy comprising an antenna to sense radiated electrical energy, an indicator to alert a user when activated, circuitry for determining when the sensed electrical energy meets a user adjustable threshold and activating the indicator when the sensed electrical energy meets the user adjustable threshold, and an adjustor for selecting the user adjustable threshold, wherein the elongate probe has a length of at least 2 feet;
adjusting the user adjustable threshold to a high sensitivity;
moving the elongate probe into the area to determine if electrical energy exists in the area;
if the indicator indicates the presence of electrical energy, adjusting the user adjustable threshold to a low sensitivity; and
moving the elongate probe into a portion of said area to determine if electrical energy exists in said portion. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
