An increase in cable temperature causes an increase in attenuation. To compensate
for this increase, the test tool uses the temperature you select to modify the

the temperature that is closest to the cable's average temperature.
To select an average cable temperature, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the rotary switch to SETUP.
2. Use to highlight the average cable temperature.
