•
Keep away from heaters and other heating sources.
•
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do
not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave
the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
•
Never put any liquids on the device or close to it. Should any liquid enter the device
nevertheless, remove the battery immediately. Please let the device be checked by a qualified
service technician before you operate it again.
•
Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when operating the device.
•
Only test one cable at a time.

If there is reason to believe that safe operation is no longer possible, the device is to be put out
of operation and secured against unintended operation. Safe operation is no longer possible
if the device:
-
shows visible damages,
-
no longer works,
-
was stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of time or
-
was subject to considerable transport stress
Battery safety
•
Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
•
Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to
avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns when in
contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.
•
Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around, as there
is risk, that children or pets swallow it.
•
Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge non-

Battery Compartment
Inserting / Replacing the 9V battery
1.
To insert or replace the battery, push the battery compartment (16) upwards.
2.
Slide out the battery compartment from the device.
3.
Insert a new 9V battery while taking care of the correct polarity.
4.
Slide the battery compartment back into the device.
5.
Push the cover down to secure the compartment in place.
6.
To check the strength of the battery, turn the rotary switch fully to the right to test the battery
strength. The battery LED indicator will illuminate bright green if the 9V battery is fully
charged. The LED will dim as the battery loses strength. It will turn off at a battery strength of
approximately 6V. Replace battery when the LED starts dimming.
Connection
The cables to be tested must be fully disconnected from any other equipment or
electrical source. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock and permanent
damage to the unit.
This device can quickly test cables with any combinations of the following connectors: banana
plugs, USB, TRS 6.35 mm jack, XLR, RCA (phono), DIN, RJ45 and Speakon®.
The LEDs give a clear representation of the connections, showing which pins are connected with
which. The top row of yellow LEDs corresponds to connector pins on the right side.
The bottom row of green LEDs corresponds to connector pins on the left side.
1.
Plug one end of a cable into the appropriate connector on the left side of the unit.
2.
Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate connector on the right side.
3.
Turn the rotary knob (8) to position <1> to verify the continuity of pin 1 of the left connector. This
will show the pin connections between Pin 1 (of the left plug) and the pin(s) of the right plug.
4.
If there is a connection, the green LED of position <1> will illuminate. For each pin (of the
right plug) that has connection to Pin 1 (of the left plug), the corresponding yellow LED will
illuminate.
5.
Turn the rotary knob to <2> to test Pin 2 of the left plug. Continue to <3> and so on until all
pins have been checked.
6.
If no LED illuminates, then there is no connection.
7.
If the GND light (5) illuminates red with a beeping sound, the pins have a short to the ground.
8.
To test the cable with a banana plug, just plug each end of the cable into the banana jacks
(12). The LED will light and the unit will beep if there is a connection between the plugs. These
banana jacks can also be used for continuity tests using two probe leads.
9.
Use the tables below to verify proper cable connections.
