Data Safe Practices
When going from pair to pair searching for tracer tone or dial tone it is best to connect the test
set to Tip and Ring of the pairs. Avoid the practice, either in Talk or Monitor mode, of clipping
one lead of the test set to ground, and using the other lead to search for tracer tone or dial tone
on a block. This may create an electrical imbalance on a data line that will disrupt service. Once
you find the voice line you are searching for then it is OK to test Tip to ground or Ring to ground
on that line.
Be careful not to short the test leads together if you are connecting to a data line (or any line for
that matter), as this could bring down the service.
In general it is best to put the test set in Monitor mode when troubleshooting a line, searching
for capacitance kicks, RF signals, craft provided tones, etc.
