Does anyone know how to use a tester? I bought the Turbo Tone. It has instructions, but I guess I don't understand them too well. I have a phone line with 4 pairs. I don't know which pair is active. I just want the device to tell me which is active. I see "NRM" and "REV". I suppose that stands for Normal and Reversed. Other than that I can't get something basic like is the line active or not? | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options And you bought this little high tech piece of wonderment because????????????????? Simply read the instructions under "INSTRUCTIONS FOR UES on page #1. To Check the Status of Phone Circuit. It really says it all. You really need a active line for it to work. Otherwise it won't.  | ||||||||||||||||

If there is an active line in the cable, you can find it with your tongue, a meter, or the tester clipped to earth ground. Since an active line usually has -48 volts on the Ring and Ground on the tip, you can ground your tester/body and touch each of the 8 wires until the tester lights up or you taste the battery. With any luck, the mate of the cable completes the pair. Of course a Butt set would have done the same thing and you could just listen for dial tone.. Normally we're talking Blue/White as the Ring and White/Blue as the Tip. Carl Navarro | ||||||||||||||||
