If Something Seems Wrong
with the Tester
The display remains at 8.8.8.8. after power on.
The self test has failed. The batteries may be weak or
the tester has water inside. Try changing the batteries
or drying the tester.
The tester reads less than 10 feet (3 meters)
regardless of the length of the cable.
The connection to the cable is broken. Check your
connection to the cable for dirt or insulation. Also, test
the clip leads by shorting them and listening for the
beeper. You can also visually check the center
connection of the BNC for damage.
The tester does not respond to any button presses.
The batteries could be dead or inserted incorrectly, or
the contacts are dirty or broken. Please ensure that
nothing is connected to the input connector before
opening the battery door, and then check the battery
installation. Remove the batteries and check the
contacts for dirt or damage. Please observe correct
polarity when inserting the batteries.
