To further verify you have found the target pair you can use the
toner's SmartTone™ function (see "SmartTone Positive
Identification"). If you are beyond the range of SmartTone, try the
following:
1 Spread the wires of the pair at the far end about 2 inches (5 cm)
apart.
2 Move the probe tip slowly at a right angle to the wires (see
Figure 4). If the tone's volume is HIGH over the first wire, LOW in
the middle between the two wires, and HIGH over the second
wire, then you have located the target pair.

SmartTone Positive Identification

The P 3000 toner's Smart Tone function ensures positive
RO
identification of the wire pair you are tracing within a multi-pair
cable.
To use the SmartTone function (see Figure 4):
1 Put the toner's slide switch in the TONE position.
2 Connect the toner's red lead to one of the wires of the pair and
connect the black lead to the other wire.
3 Press the button twice for the alternating tone.
4 At the far end of the cable, place the probe near the wires you
are tracing. Pick the pair that produces the loudest tone.
5 With the probe still on, short then open the two wires of the
pair. A change in the tone indicates you have located the target
pair. If you don't hear a change in the tone, then pick a different
pair and try again until you find the pair that causes the tone to
change.
