GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Platinum Tools, VDV MapMaster2.0™ is a portable voice-data-video cable

F-conector terminated cables and provides built-in tone generation for cable tracing.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Remove single screw
in the middle of the back
of the VDV MapMaster2.0™ with a #1 Phillips head
screwdriver. Remove the battery door.
2)
Remove the old battery
and disconnect
battery cable.
3)
Replace with an ANSI 1604A
, 9 volt alkaline
battery (Energizer 522, Duracell Mn1604). Reattach

WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.
• The VDV MapMaster2.0™ is designed for use on unenergized cabling
systems. Connecting the VDV MapMaster2.0 to live AC power may
damage it and pose a safety hazard for the user.
• Poorly terminated RJ plugs have the potential to damage the jacks on the
VDV MapMaster2.0™. Visually inspect an RJ plug before inserting it into
the tester. The contacts should always be recessed into the plastic housing
of the plug. Plugging 6-position plugs into the 8-position jack on the
tester has the potential to damage the outermost contacts of the jack
unless the plug is specifically designed for that purpose.
