Safety and Operational Information

The international electrical symbols used on the

instrument or in this manual are described in Table 1.

Table 1. International Electrical Symbols

Warning: Risk of electric shock.

Warning or Caution: Risk of damage or

destruction to equipment or software. See

explanations in the manual.

Equipment is protected by double insulation

or reinforced insulation to protect the user

against electric shock.

Do not connect this terminal to public

communications networks, such as

telephone systems.

Warning

To avoid possible fire, electric shock,

personal injury, or damage to the test tool

•If this product is used in a manner not

specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the product may be impaired.

•Use only the ac adapter/charger provided

with the test tool (PN 106200 or 944223) to

charge the battery or power the test tool.

•Never connect the test tool to any telephony

inputs, systems, or equipment, including

ISDN. Doing so is a misapplication of this

product, which can result in damage to the

test tool and create a potential shock hazard

to the user.

DSP-4000 Series

Getting Started Guide

•Never connect the CABLE TEST input to any

LAN inputs, systems, or equipment. Doing so

is a misapplication of this product, which can

result in damage to the test tool and create a

potential shock hazard to the user.

•Always turn on the test tool before

connecting it to a cable. Turning the test tool

on activates the tool’s input protection

circuitry.

•When servicing the test tool, use only

specified replacement parts.

•Do not use the test tool if it operates

abnormally. Protection may be impaired.

•Do not use the test tool if it is damaged.

Inspect the test tool before use.

Caution

To avoid disrupting network operation and to

ensure maximum accuracy of test results

•Except when monitoring network activity,

never connect the test tool to an active

network. Doing so may disrupt network

operation.

•Never attempt to insert any connector other

than an RJ45 connector into the RJ45 jack.

Inserting other connectors, such as RJ11

(telephone) connectors, can permanently

damage the jack.

•Never attempt to send data from a PC to the

test tool while running a cable test. Doing so

might cause erroneous test results.

Safety and Operational Information

•Never operate portable transmitting devices

during a cable test. Doing so might cause

erroneous test results.

•When using the channel/traffic link interface

adapter (DSP-LIA013), never run tests with

cables connected to both the cable jack and

the monitor jack. Doing so might cause

erroneous test results.

•To ensure maximum accuracy of test results,

perform the self-calibration procedure as

described in “Calibrating the Test Tool”in

Chapter 6 of the Users Manual every 30 days.

•To avoid false test results, recharge the

battery as soon as the low battery message

appears.

•If your test tool includes the DSP-LIA101

Permanent Link Adapters, see “Permanent

Link Interface Adapters”for important

handling information.
