4.9.1 Traffixguard Low Alert
When the Guard Low is ON, each time you try to put
the Ranger in TALK mode, it measures the voltage
on the phone line. It will not connect (go off hook)
if the measured voltage is less than 10 volts, which would
normally indicate a dead line, a data line, or an in-use
voice line. If this occurs, the measured voltage is displayed
along with the messages "In use??" and "Flash to Connect".
This gives you the opportunity to verify the line status
before proceeding.

If you still want to connect, press the Flash key to connect.
The voltage is constantly updated, so while the Ranger
is in this mode, you can use the cable-set leads to search
for a line with normal on-hook voltage. If such a line
is detected, the test set will automatically go off hook.
When the Guard Low is OFF, this test is not done prior
to going off hook.
Note: The test set continuously monitors the voltage
on the line while it is off hook, and will go on hook
automatically if it detects insufficient voltage. This test
is done regardless of the setting of Guard Low.
When in either the high or low voltage states, the phone
will time out after about 90 seconds of no change in status
and turn off. The TALK/BELL/MON switch must be
moved to Bell mode and than back to Talk or Monitor
position to turn the phone on after timing out.

When the Guard High is ON, each time you try to put
the Ranger in TALK mode, it measures the voltage on
the phone line. It will not connect (go off hook) if the
measured voltage is greater than 65 volts, which would
normally indicate a line with power for repeaters or
a line with a power cross. If this occurs, the measured
