Fig. 3.6: 6100-Gfast connection identification
Note: On the 6100-Gfast model, to test an ADSL 1/2/2+
Annex B interface, the unit uses the second pair
(pins 2-5) in the DSL WAN RJ11 connector.
When connecting the unit to a wall socket with a
modem cable that uses the first pair (pins 3-4),
use the red cable (pair 2) of the RJ14 to dual RJ-
11 DSL Bonding Test Cable (part number
10/6100-CABLE-BOND-RJ14-RJ11X2) provided,
and the RJ11 female adapter (part number
10/6100-RJ11-WAN-ADPTR).
WARNING! A 50 to 500 V limited power source
may be present on connector T/R/G (A/B/E),
T1/R1/G (A1/B1/E) when the unit is testing
isolation resistance. Use with caution.
WARNING! These connections are intended for
the express purpose of electrical testing of
common telephone line conductors, within
the ranges specified in the Technical
Specifications found on the Radiodetection
Web site. The device is not intended to be
used on telephone lines having voltages
greater than 280 VAC or 400 VDC, and it is
also not intended to be used on power
distribution circuits.
CAUTION: The unit is protected against damage
caused by fault voltages that may be
present on lines under test. Do not connect
the unit if the maximum expected fault
voltage is greater than 500 volts.

Electrical Safety Information
The AC adapter/charger provided with this unit (18 W,
9 V) is specifically designed to work with your 6100-
Gfast.
WARNING:
Only use the AC/DC adapter/charger indoors.
Only use with a Class II AC/DC adapter, power
limited output.
On the AC/DC adapter, replacing detachable
mains supply cords with inadequately rated
cords, may result in overheating of the cord
and create a fire risk.
The adapter shall have the appropriate safety
mark (e.g. UL, CSA, TUV, CE, etc.) that is
acceptable to the authorities in the country
where the equipment is to be used.
CAUTION. When using the 6100-Gfast while

Getting
Started with the 6100-
Gfast
5.1 Turning the Unit On/Off
When you turn the unit on, you may use it immediately
under normal conditions. When the unit is turned off, it
keeps the following parameters in its internal memory:
Setup including application settings, phone and
cable books, and test lead characteristics.
Profiles consisting of:
oTest parameters
oUser-defined thresholds
Note: Save the current profile before turning the unit
off, or else any changes will be lost. See To save
a profile on page 26 for more information.
Regional, LCD, and energy-saving settings
Test results saved internally vs. USB
There are two ways to turn off the 6100-Gfast:
Suspend: the next time you turn your unit on,
you will quickly return to your work
environment.
Shutdown: completely cuts power to the unit;
the unit will perform a complete restart routine
the next time you use it. You should perform a
shutdown if you do not intend to use your unit
for a few hours or more.
To turn the unit on:
Press to start. The unit initializes for a few seconds
and displays the Home pane.
To enter suspend mode:
Press for about 2 seconds. The 6100-Gfast will
stay in suspend mode for 2 hours, after which it will
automatically shut down. This prevents complete
battery discharge and ensures maximum battery
performance.
To perform a shutdown:
Hold down for at least 4 seconds. The shutdown
process starts.
Note: In both previous cases, if the power adapter is
connected, the 6100-Gfast will simulate either a
fake suspend or fake shutdown in order to
facilitate the charger.
Note: If you hold down for 12 seconds or more, the
6100-Gfast may reset the date and time to
incorrect values. Once the unit is powered back
on, an Invalid Date and Time dialogue box will
pop up displaying The unit date and time are
probably invalid. (1/1/2006 12:00:25 PM).
Please update the date and time as described in
Date and Time on page 14 to ensure the delivery
of all the functionality the unit has to offer.
5.2 Using Menus and Keypad
You can access various tools from the keypad or menu.
Menu options may differ depending on your unit
configuration.
Home menu is where you can access Copper tests or
System Settings. Each test has a sub menu.
To navigate through the items, use the arrow
keys.
To confirm a choice or enter a menu,
press .
To cancel an action or test, or return to the
previous item or pane, press .
Press once to return to the Main test
menu or twice to return to the Home page.
Note: Pressing while a test is running will also stop
the test and return to the main menu screen.
Note: You can also select an option directly by pressing
the function keys corresponding to the on-screen
buttons at the bottom of the screen.
