Tips

Always test cables before connecting them to active network equipment to avoid potential damage. For long cable runs, attach the remote unit at the far end and use the main unit to test from the near end. Store the tester in its carrying case when not in use to protect the connectors and display. Replace the battery when the low battery indicator appears to ensure accurate test results.
