Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death. The VDV Scout Pro is designed for use on unenergized cabling systems. Connecting the VDV Scout Pro to live AC power may damage it and pose a safety hazard for the user. Poorly terminated RJ plugs have the potential to damage the jacks on the VDV Scout Pro. Visually inspect an RJ plug before inserting it into the tester. The contacts should always be recessed into the plastic housing of the plug. Plugging 6-position plugs into the 8-position jack on the tester has the potential to damage the outer-most contacts of the jack unless the plug is speci cally designed for that purpose. WARNINGS: WARNINGS: Always wear approved eye protection. Do NOT use on energized circuits.
