- RJ11 Port: For connecting phone cables or using the RJ11 cable with alligator clips.
- LED Indicators: Display cable status (open, short, cross, normal).
- Function Switch: To select between SCAN (tracing) and TEST (continuity).
- Power Switch: On/Off.
Receiver Unit (Probe)
- Probe Tip: Used to detect the signal from the transmitter.
- Volume Control: Adjusts the sound level of the detected signal.
- Headset Jack: For connecting the included headset.
- LED Indicator: Visual confirmation of signal detection.
- Power Switch: On/Off.

5. Setup
5.1 Battery Installation
Both the transmitter and receiver units require batteries (not included). Locate the battery compartments on the back of each unit. Open the cover, insert the required batteries (typically 9V batteries for each unit) observing the correct polarity, and close the cover securely.
5.2 Connecting Cables
Depending on the test, connect the cable to be tested to the appropriate port on the transmitter unit (RJ45 for network cables, RJ11 for phone cables or alligator clips). For cable tracing, only the transmitter needs to be connected to one end of the cable.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Cable Tracing/Locating
- Connect one end of the target cable to the RJ45 or RJ11 port on the transmitter unit.
- Turn on the transmitter unit and set the function switch to SCAN mode.
- Turn on the receiver unit.
- Use the receiver's probe to scan along the cable path. The receiver will emit an audible tone when it detects the signal from the transmitter. The tone will be loudest when the probe is directly over the correct cable.
- Adjust the volume control on the receiver for optimal listening. For noisy environments, connect the headset.
6.2 LAN Cable Continuity Testing (RJ45)
- Connect one end of the RJ45 network cable to the RJ45 port on the transmitter unit.
- Connect the other end of the RJ45 network cable to the RJ45 port on the receiver unit.
- Turn on both the transmitter and receiver units. Set the transmitter's function switch to TEST mode.
- Observe the LED indicators on both units. The LEDs will light up sequentially, indicating the status of each wire pair.
- Normal Connection: LEDs on both units light up in the same sequence (1-8).
- Open Circuit/Break: An LED fails to light up on either unit.
- Short Circuit: Two or more LEDs light up simultaneously or in an incorrect sequence.
- Cross-Connection: LEDs light up in a different but consistent sequence on the receiver compared to the transmitter.
6.3 Phone Cable Continuity Testing (RJ11)
- Connect one end of the RJ11 phone cable to the RJ11 port on the transmitter unit.
- Connect the other end of the RJ11 phone cable to the RJ11 port on the receiver unit.
- Follow steps 3-5 from the LAN Cable Continuity Testing section, observing the RJ11 specific LED indicators.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator lights up or when the device's performance degrades.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Dead batteries; Incorrect battery installation | Replace batteries; Check battery polarity |
| No signal during tracing | Transmitter off or in wrong mode; Receiver off or too far; Cable fault | Ensure transmitter is ON and in SCAN mode; Ensure receiver is ON; Move receiver closer; Check cable for damage |
| Incorrect continuity test results | Poor cable connection; Damaged cable; Wrong test mode | Ensure cables are fully inserted; Inspect cable for damage; Ensure transmitter is in TEST mode |
| Faint or distorted tracing tone | Low battery on receiver; High ambient noise; Receiver volume too low | Replace receiver batteries; Use headset; Increase receiver volume |
