a first indicator of the plurality of indicators is configured to output a first indication based on a test signal transmitted from the first test probe; and
a second indicator of the plurality of indicators is configured to output a second indication based on a test signal transmitted from the second test probe.
7. The hand-held testing device of claim 5 , wherein:
the at least one indicator includes an alternating current (AC) test indicator and a universal serial bus (USB) test indicator;
the AC test indicator is configured to output a first indication based on an AC test signal transmitted from the first test probe; and
the USB test indicator is configured to output a second indication based on a USB test signal received from the second test probe.
8. The hand-held testing device of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one indicator; and
a first test circuit electrically coupled to the first test probe and configured to:
receive, via the first test probe, a voltage from the first type of power receptacle,
perform a first test on the voltage received from the first type of power receptacle, and
output a first signal to the at least one indicator based on the first test.
9. The hand-held testing device of claim 8 , further comprising:
a second test circuit electrically coupled to the second test probe and configured to:
receive, via the second test probe, a voltage from the second type of power receptacle,
perform a second test on the voltage received from the second type of power receptacle, and
output a second signal to the at least one indicator based on the second test.
10. The hand-held testing device of claim 1 , further comprising a first test circuit and a second test circuit, the first test circuit and the second test circuit being galvanically isolated.
11. The hand-held testing device of claim 1 , wherein
the first test probe is coupled to a first side of the rotatable probe housing, and
the second test probe is coupled to a second side of the rotatable probe housing that is different than the first side of the rotatable probe housing.
12. The hand-held testing device of claim 1 , wherein the first test probe is coupled to the main housing.
13. The hand-held testing device of claim 1 , wherein the first type of power receptacle is a different type of power receptacle than the second type of power receptacle.
14. A method of operating a hand-held testing device, the method comprising:
providing a main housing of the hand-held testing device;
providing a rotatable probe housing of the hand-held testing device, wherein the main housing is configured to be gripped by a user and the rotatable probe housing is rotatably coupled to the main housing;
receiving, via a first test probe configured to be inserted into a first type of power receptacle to test the first type of power receptacle for a fault condition associated with the first type of power receptacle, a voltage of the first type of power receptacle; and
receiving, via a second test probe coupled to the rotatable probe housing and configured to be inserted into a second type of power receptacle to test the second type of power receptacle for a fault condition associated with the second type of power receptacle, a voltage of the second type of power receptacle.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first type of power receptacle is an alternating current (AC) receptacle.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second type of power receptacle is a universal serial bus (USB) receptacle.
17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the second type of power receptacle is a universal serial bus (USB) receptacle.
18. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
providing a plurality of indicators on the main housing;
outputting, via a first indicator of the plurality of indicators, a first indication based on a test signal transmitted from the first test probe; and
outputting, via a second indicator of the plurality of indicators, a second indication based on a test signal transmitted from the second test probe.
19. The method of claim 14 , wherein:
the first test probe is coupled to a first side of the rotatable probe housing, and
the second test probe is coupled to a second side of the rotatable probe housing that is different than the first side of the rotatable probe housing.
20. A hand-held testing device comprising:
a main housing configured to be gripped by a user;
a rotatable probe housing rotatably coupled to the main housing;
a first test probe coupled to the rotatable housing, the first test probe configured to be inserted into a first type of power receptacle to test the first type of power receptacle for a fault condition associated with the first type of power receptacle; and
a second test probe coupled to the rotatable probe housing, the second test probe configured to be inserted into a second type of power receptacle to test the second type of power receptacle for a fault condition associated with the second type of power receptacle.
