Voltage Valet PDT - Manual

Detects dangerous digital phone
lines and protects your computer
modem from voltage spikes and
surges.
Protect Your Modem!
Recently many businesses and
hotels began using digital phone
systems in place of analog phone
systems. These digital systems
provide high-current phone lines
that can damage most computer
modems. Since both safe analog
lines and dangerous digital lines
use the same type of connectors,
it is impossible to visually
determine if a phone line is safe.
Use Voltage Valet’s Digital Phone
Line Tester before you plug in to
detect high-current digital
telephone lines that can damage
your computer modem.

Digital Phone Line Tester
Model PDT
Instructions
IMPORTANT: Always test the phone line before connecting your computer
modem.
Step 1. Test line 1 by setting the Line Switch to position “1”. Position “1” on
Line Switch tests the inside wire pair. Position “2” on Line Switch tests the
outside wire pair.
Step 2. Connect the RJ11 plug at the LINE end of “Digital Phone Line Tester” to
the RJ11 phone line jack you want to test. NOTE: Outside North America you
may need an International Telephone Outlet Adaptor to convert a foreign
telephone jack to an RJ11 jack. See country list in Voltage Valet’s Foreign
Electricity Guide for proper adaptor.
Step 3. Press the “TEST” button.
RED light indicates a digital line. DO NOT USE LINE.
GREEN light indicates a safe analog line.
YELLOW light indicates a safe analog line with reversed polarity. Phone line
is safe but reversed polarity may slow data transmission rates.
NO LIGHT indicates no signal present on the phone line. Set line switch to
position “2” and repeat steps above.
Step 4. To use the surge suppression circuit, leave the “Digital Phone Line
Tester” plugged into the phone line jack as described in Step 2 and connect the
RJ11 plug from the computer modem to the RJ11 jack at the MODEM end of
“Digital Phone Line Tester.”
