cuit, possibly causing equipment damage and user injury,
use of the conductive plastic probe is recommended. The
plastic probe is only slightly conductive, and usually causes
no disruption of equipment operation. An additional advan-
tage is its “duckbill” shape, which allows it to penetrate deeply
into a bundle of wires.
Helpful Hint:
When using the conductive plastic probe, greater signal
pickup will be obtained if the wire being probed is laid against
the flat surface of the duckbill. Laying the wire against the
tip or edge of the duckbill will not produce the strongest
signal.
7: Operation

Refer to the Instruction Manual of the FOX or FOX 2 (or other
Toner) for additional information on using the FOX’s and
HOUND 3.
Turn on a FOX or FOX 2 and set it to the Tone generation
mode. Press and hold the Power Button on the HOUND 3
and adjust the Volume / Sensitivity thumbwheel while plac-
ing the probe of the HOUND 3 close to the test leads of the
FOX or FOX 2. The Tone being generated by the FOX or FOX

the Volume / Sensitivity thumbwheel, adjust the loudness to
a comfortable level.
