1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Cautions
Warning!
Do not attach to primary power lines. The LanScaper™ may be
damaged and cause a safety hazard. When connecting to an unknown
jack or plug, the LanScaper™ should be off. Once connected, press
CABLE button to ID the connection.
Caution!
Improperly crimped, damaged or un-crimped plugs can damage the jack
on the LanScaper™. Inspect plugs for proper termination and crimping
before inserting into the tester. Contacts on a plug should always be
recessed into the plastic grooves. Do not use with standard 6 position
plugs (RJ11/RJ12), the LanScaper™ jack may be damaged. Use the
provided “no fault” (green transparent plugs) 6 position RJ cable, which
can be connected to 6 or 8 position jacks without causing any damage.
Note: The screen comes with a clear , peel-off protective coating
over the LCD screen that should be removed for clearest view of the
