If Something Seems Wrong with the
Tester
The display remains at 8.8.8.8. after power on.
The self test has failed. The batteries may be weak or the
tester has water inside. Try changing the batteries or drying
the tester.
The tester reads less than 10 feet regardless of the length of
the cable.
The connection to the cable is broken. Check your
connection to the cable for dirt or insulation. Also, test the
clip leads by shorting them and listening for the beeper. You
can also visually check the center connection of the BNC for
damage.
The tester does not respond to any button presses.
The batteries could be dead or inserted incorrectly, or the
contacts are dirty or broken. Ensure that nothing is
connected to the input connector before opening the
battery door, and then check the battery installation.
Remove the batteries and check the contacts for dirt or
damage. Observe correct polarity when inserting the
batteries.
