J1: Turns the TrueTrace feature on and off
In some cases, the user may find that TrueTrace
doesn’t behave as desired. TrueTrace is on when
the jumper is in the DOWN position, and off when
the jumper is in the UP position.

J3: Sets the pitch range of the Tracer Tone
With the jumper in place, the pitch is low. With
the jumper removed, the pitch is high. The user may
select whichever pitch is most pleasing. Some
receivers (inductive amplifiers) work better with a
particular pitch setting. The high pitch setting
produces a more piercing tracing tone, which may
be useful in locations with a lot of acoustic noise.

J4: Turns the Pilot Tone on and off
The FOX 2 generates a pilot tone in the TRACER TONE
mode. This is a low volume tone that sounds like the
TRACER TONE. It is often helpful to the user, in some
cases eliminating the need for a HOUND or HOUND 2.
It also reminds the user that the FOX 2 is on and
operating. Some users may find the pilot tone
annoying, or may find it inappropriate for the test
situation (like in a quiet office or a library). Removing
J4 turns the pilot tone off.

J6: Changes WARBLE tone to CONTINUOUS tone.
Remove J6 to change from WARBLE to CONTINUOUS
tone. This is helpful if someone else is also using a
“toner” that is set to WARBLE in the vicinity. By
setting your FOX 2 to CONTINUOUS, you can
differentiate between your tone and the other tone.
