Operation Manual
Thank you for using our product.
In order to learn about the correct operating method,
functions and inspection and maintenance essentials of
the product and make the product rugged and durable,
please read the manual carefully before using the
product.
Warning: Incorrect contact with electrical appliances
may result in serious injuries or even death because of
electric shocks. Thus, you are expected to operate in
strict line with the manual to avoid such accidents.
. Please read the whole manual carefully and operate
the product in strict line with it, otherwise the
protection function designed by the factory will fail
or be impaired.
2. If the product has any damage such as cracking of
its shell or falling of its battery cover or the shell,
1

do not use it.
3. Do not use the product in electric storms, wet
weather or thunderstorm weather.
4. Do not detect high-voltage cable lines (such as
220V power supply lines) with the product.
5. Do not use the product in a place with any
combustible gas or much dust or vapor.
6. Keep in mind that safety is the most important
thing: Voltages larger than 30VAC or 60VDC
highly tend to result in electric shocks.
7. Use appropriate personal protection equipment such
as safety goggles, mask, insulating gloves,
insulating shoes and insulating rubber mat.
8. In hot-line work, do not ground by yourself;
connect the ground wire and the null line first when
using a crocodile clip test line or an adapter jumper.
I. Product overview
The handheld multifunctional cable tracker is widely
used in networks, telecommunication, broadcasting and
TV, security protection, electric power, etc. It applies to
detect cable such as network cables, telephone cables
2

and metallic cables and connectors such as RJ
connectors and R45 connectors. It is a necessary
detection device for the persons taking work in fields
including networks, telecommunication, broadcasting
and TV, security protection, electric power, etc.

IV. Features of functions
Cable tracking
The product can find out target cables among many
cables including telephone cables, network cables and
other metallic cables quickly and accurately via RJ
jacks and RJ45 jacks directly. The product is
particularly designed with the function of cable tracking
when Ethernet switches, routers and PC terminals are in
an on status.
Cable matching
It can check the sequence, short or open circuit,
correctness, reverse connection and crossing of each
network cable. This function is visualized and
6

convenient and can replace a network tester.
The product can be easily used in dim places because of
an LED lamp.
The product is provided with a headset for the sake of
easy use in noisy places.
The product can prompt an undervoltage status of the
batteries.
V. Operation instructions for functions
. Cable tracking
The product can track telephone cables, network cables
and other metallic cables via RJ jacks and RJ45 jacks
directly. It can realize cable tracking when Ethernet
switches, routers and PC terminals are in an on status.
However, it should never be used for detecting live
cables, particularly high-voltage cables.
Operating method
) Press the power switch button of the transmitter,
select the cable tracking function through the
function selection button (the cable tracking LED
indicator will be lit) and connect the target network
7

cable or telephone cable to the corresponding jack
(such as RJ or RJ45) of the transmitter or connect
a target metallic cable to the RJ jack via the
standard accessory crocodile for RJ connector.
2) Hold the receiver and press the cable tracking start
button. When the target cable is being detected, the
indicator (red) at top of the receiver will detect at
the other end of the target cable (such as in the
space close to the cables of a telephone distribution
cabinet, a junction box, a concentrator or a switch)
and compare sounds of the receiver. The cable with
the loudest sound when the probe is reaching it will
be the cable to be tracked.
During detection, the transmission signal frequency
switching button can be pressed to switch to another
transmission signal frequency.
During detection, the volume can be adjusted through
the volume adjustment knob on the receiver. In a noisy
place, the headset can be inserted into the headset jack
to be used.
2. Cable matching

The product can check the sequence, short or open
circuit, correctness, reverse connection and crossing of
each network cable. It can realize cable tracking when
Ethernet switches, routers and PC terminals are in an on
status. However, it should never be used for detecting
live cables, particularly high-voltage cables.
Operating method
) Press the power switch button of the transmitter,
select the cable matching function through the function
selection button (the cable matching LED indicator will
be lit) and connect the target network cable to the RJ45
jack of the transmitter and the RJ45 jack of the receiver.
The transmitter will track cables from to 8 and G and
the receiver will track cables following the same
sequence.
3. Telephone or DC level and polarity
) Judge whether a telephone cable is normal or not;
a) Press the power switch button of the transmitter and
select the telephone function through the function
selection button (the telephone function LED indicator
will be lit);
