When the TONE button is pressed and held down for longer than 2 seconds, another tone pattern
is selected until the button is released. The tone pattern options are Hi, Lo, HiLo1 and HiLo2. The HiLo
options are dual or warble tones of differing pattern duration.
Pressing any button other than TONE, switches OFF the cable tester. The tone will switch OFF
automatically after 2,4 hours.
2.3 Telephone test mode (VOICE button)
For this mode the cable tester uses the 6-position jack on the main unit and the remote unit to test a
cable. This mode uses the 3-pair USOC standard to define the pairs. Connector pins 1-6, 2-5 and 3-4
are the pairs defined by this standard. The tester will display the “Pass” icon when all 6 pins are
correctly wired in a one-to-one order.
If all 6 pins are correctly wired in the reverse order, the “Pass” icon along with a blinking “Rev” icon will
be displayed. Standard telephone cables used between a phone set and a wall jack are usually
reverse-pinned.
2.4 Coax test mode (VIDEO button)
The cable tester can test wire breaks and short circuits.
2.5 Split pair test
The cable tester has the ability to switch OFF the split pair test. Pressing the button for the current
cable test mode for more than 3 seconds, switches OFF the split pair testing. The “Split” icon and its
current state (ON or OFF) appear on the screen momentarily to indicate this. The split pair testing will
resume the next time the tester is switched ON, or can be toggled by another 3 second press of the
current test mode button.
2.6 Voltage
detection
The cable tester monitors for voltage being present on the jacks during each test cycle. If voltage is
found, the “Volts!” icon is displayed and testing stops until the voltage is removed.
2.7 Battery
replacement
When the battery low icon is ON, the battery should be replaced as soon as possible. The cable test
results will become unreliable when the battery reaches 4, 5 V. To replace the battery:
Remove the screw from the battery door on the back of the unit.
Pull the battery out of the cavity and remove the battery link.
Connect a new Alkaline 9 V battery to the battery link. Insert the battery back in the compartment
with the battery link placed towards the front-end.
Close the battery door and do
NOT
over tighten the screw.
