INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the CT 1 CABLE DETECTIVE cable

operation and a full understanding of all the CT 1 functions.

and wiggle the cable around at different points on the cable. Watch the 1 and 2
LEDs, if either LED is off, or goes on and off - the cable is bad.
Tests for:
Adapter type cables, such as 1/4" to XLR cables, may also be tested by plugging
each end into it's proper jack on either side of the line. Test as indicated above.

above, except watch the 1, 2 and 3 LEDs.
To test a MIDI cable, plug each end of the cable into the MIDI jacks and test as
described above. Watch the 1 and 2 LEDs, if either LED is off, or goes on and off
- the cable is bad.
