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 MapMaster™ is designed for use on unenergized cabling
systems. Connecting the VDV MapMaster 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 MapMaster™. 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 outermost contacts of the jack
unless the plug is specifically designed for that purpose.
