What happens here

With the Klein Tools ET310 Transmitter still plugged into the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, locate and press the 'Test' button on the tester. A properly functioning GFCI outlet should immediately trip, cutting off power to the outlet. This action will cause the indicator lights on the tester to go off, confirming that the GFCI protection mechanism is working correctly. The presenter notes that it 'kills our GFCI outlet' as expected.

Goal: Verify the GFCI outlet is functioning
