Getting Started

Installing / Replacing Battery
To install or replace the 9 volt battery, remove the single screw from the back of the
case. Gently remove the front of the case to gain access to the battery compartment.
Sometimes it helps to press lightly on the numbered LEDs to remove the front. With the
front removed, install/replace battery. Replace front, aligning LEDs in their respective
holes, and replace screw.

Power Latch
The WireMaster Coax Function switch incorporates a Power Latch feature to prevent
the product from accidentally being turned on, which could result in a dead battery.
Note that the Function switch is locked into the OFF: OVERLOAD / VOLTAGE position. To
turn the product on, the UNLOCK button must be pressed, and while the button is
pressed, the Function switch is moved to the CABLE MAP position, at which time the
UNLOCK button may be released. When the Function switch is returned to the OFF:
OVERLOAD / VOLTAGE position, the switch will lock in this position, requiring the user
to once again press the UNLOCK button to turn the product on.

Battery Test
Press the UNLOCK button and set the Function switch to the CABLE MAP position. The
green BATTERY TEST LED must flash. If the BATTERY TEST LED does not flash, the
battery should be replaced. If it is weak, it may produce erroneous results in the CABLE
MAP mode.

Note: The BATTERY TEST LED does not stay on. It only tests the battery when the
product is first turned on. To test the battery again, turn the product off and back on.

Verifying Product Operation
After turning the product on, connect the provided BNC to BNC adaptor to the BNC on
the WireMaster Coax. Experimentally connect different numbered Remotes to the adap-
tor, noting that the number on the Remote agrees with the LED that lights on the
WireMaster Coax. In use, thousands of feet of wire may be between the Remote and
the WireMaster Coax, and the Remote will cause the appropriate LED to light.
