Instruction Manual
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Klein Tools VDV Scout ® Pro 2 is a portable voice-data-video cable tester. It tests and troubleshoots RJ11, RJ12,
RJ45, and F-connector terminated cables and provides built-in tone generation for cable tracing. The VDV Scout ® Pro
2 LT combines these features with length measurement.

WARNINGS
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can
result in severe injury or death.
• The VDV Scout ® Pro 2 is designed for use on unenergized cabling systems. Connecting the VDV Scout ® Pro 2 to
live AC power may damage it and pose a safety hazard for the user.
• Poorly terminated RJ plugs have the potential to damage the jacks on the VDV Scout ® Pro 2. Visually inspect an RJ
plug before inserting it into the tester. The contacts should always be recessed into the plastic housing of the plug.
Plugging 6-position plugs into the 8-position jack on the tester has the potential to damage the outer-most contacts
of the jack unless the plug is specifically designed for that purpose.
