2.1) The CableRater is not designed to tolerate accidental application of voltages
exceeding 132VAC 60Hz. Applying higher voltages may cause damage to
the CableRater, and may injure the user.
2.2) Use care when connecting the CableRater to any wire or cable. An
unexpected dangerous voltage may be present, which may result in injury
to the user.
2.3) Do not operate the CableRater with any of the product’s covers open or
removed. A dangerous potential applied to the F connectors may appear on
the battery connector or other parts in the product. This could pose a shock
hazard to the user, if for example, a cable with 120VAC on it is connected
to the CableRater.
2.4) Use caution when working with any long unconnected wire or cable. Under
some conditions, unconnected wires may “float up” to dangerous potentials,
and touching them may result in user injury.

4: TYPICAL USES
4.1) Measure dB Loss (or Gain) from main entrance to each TV outlet, including
Loss in all cable, connectors, switches, splitters, and amplifiers in between.
4.2) Check for bad / lossy cables
4.3) Check for bad / lossy connectors and connections
4.4) Check for bad / lossy splitters
4.5) Check for bad / lossy switches
4.6) Check for bad amplifiers, verify amplifier gain
4.7) Check for excessive loss in cable (too long of a run)
4.8) Check for intermittent connections
4.9) Identify cables
