Install 9V battery, push the test key, get close to the cables with probe.you can
hear “beep”, the power led flashes. When the probe finds the targeted cable,the
voice will be loudest, and the led light will be brightest.

Insert the cable into port BNC, Press the testing key of receiver, “Power” will be
lighted, then hold the receiver close to the cables, when the probe gets close to the
targeted one, you can hear clear and loud “beep,beep, beep” .
(Note: turning down the voice slowly help trace cable easiler. )

Connect the metal line with the cable clips, press the testing key of receiver, hold
the receiver close to the cables, “beep, beep,beep” will generate, but when the

Note: 1) the metal line is de-energized.
2) Turn up the voice, which helps locate breakge easily.
3) Two cables must be connected together, if only one cable, the black clip
has to be grounded.

Insert the cable into port RJ11/ RJ45 (S), Press the testing key of receiver, “Power”
will be lighted, then hold the receiver close to the cables, when the probe gets close
to the targeted one, you can hear clear and loud “beep,beep, beep” .
