Operation
1. Check the battery with a voltage tester to be
sure it is fully charged.
2. See the illustration. Connect one end of the
cable to be tested to the appropriate output
jack of the tester. Connect the appropriate
terminator to the other end of the cable. If the
LED glows red, the cable has a short circuit.
Repair or replace the cable.
3. Press the PRESS TO TEST button. If the LED
glows green, the cable is in good condition.
If the LED does not glow at all, the cable
has an “open” or a break. Repair or replace
the cable.
