can be used as a fake ground. For example, a large metal

in a car, trailer, or RV, etc. the metal frame or body can be
used as a ground. When tracing wires in a boat (that is in

metal that comes in contact with the water can be used as a
ground. Simply connect one clip of the FOX 2 to the ground
or fake ground, and the other clip to the target wire.
