Caution
To prevent damage to the tester or cables under
test, to prevent data loss, and to make sure your
test results are as accurate as possible:

Do not connect the tester to an active network.
Doing so causes unreliable test results, can disrupt
network operations, and can cause damage to the
tester.

Connect to the adapters only plugs that are made
for Ethernet applications, such as RJ45, ARJ45, and
Cat 7 plugs. Other types of plugs, such as RJ11
(telephone) plugs, can cause permanent damage to
the jacks.

To make sure your test results are as accurate as
possible, do the reference procedure every 30 days.
See “Set the Reference” on page 82.

Do not operate portable transmitting devices, such
as walkie-talkies and cell phones, during a cable
test. Doing so can cause errors in test results.

For permanent link adapters, do not twist, pull on,
pinch, crush, or make kinks in the cables. See Figure
24 on page 75.
