6. Safety Warnings and Cautions
6.1
Do not connect FOX Jr or HOUND Jr to any source
of AC power. AC voltages above 30 volts can be
dangerous, and may result in user injury. The FOX
Jr and HOUND Jr are not intended to trace live
AC power lines. The FOX Jr will be damaged if
connected to a live AC power line.
6.2
Use care when using the HOUND Jr to probe
any wire or cable. An unexpected dangerous
voltage may be present, which may result in
injury to the user.
6.3
Use caution when working with telephone
lines. They can support dangerous voltages. 50VDC
is often present, and 100VAC may be present
during ringing. Additionally, telephone lines may
support dangerous levels of common mode volt-
ages. In some circumstances, user injury may result.

6.4
Use caution when working with any long uncon-
nected wire or cable. Under some conditions,
unconnected wires may “oat up” to dangerous
potentials, and touching them may result in
user injury.
6.5
Use care when connecting the FOX Jr to any wire
or cable. An unexpected dangerous voltage may
be present, which may result in injury to the user.
6.6
Potentials applied to any connection of the FOX
Jr may appear on other FOX Jr connections. For
example, a potential applied to the RJ-11 plug
may appear on the alligator clips. This could
pose a shock hazard to the user, if for example, a
telephone cable with 120VAC on it is connected to
the FOX Jr. The 120VAC may appear on the alligator
clips, and shock the user.

6.7
Do not use the FOX Jr or HOUND Jr if either unit
appears to be damaged. A damaged unit may
lead the user to a false conclusion, resulting in
user injury.
6.8
Do not use the FOX Jr or HOUND Jr if either unit
is wet. A wet unit may result in shock or injury to
the user if connected to live circuitry.

The FOX Jr and HOUND Jr are designed to
work on non-energized (except telephone
lines) wires or cables. Attempting
