may be shorted. The HOUND Jr cannot trace a
shorted wire.
If the LINE/GROUND connection is being used,
the alligator clip connected to the ground should
have very little signal on it when probed by the
HOUND Jr. The other clip attached to the wire/
cable should have a strong signal on it.
If the LINE/LINE connection is being used, both
alligator clips should have about the same sig-
nal on them . . . although it will be noted that
neither of the signals are as strong as the sig-
nal produced by the LINE/GROUND connection.

After connected the FOX Jr to one end of the
wire/cable, bring the HOUND Jr near the sus-
pect wire/cable. The FOX Jr signal can often be
heard a foot or more away from the wire. If
searching for wires in walls, move the HOUND
Jr along the surface of the wall, noting the lo-
cation of the strongest warble TONE pickup.
