> 24 hourGood product but bad documentation! Use the product as shown below: 1. Unscrew the black bottom from the device 2. Attach the end with red light in the coax outlet 3. Go to the other end and connect the black bottom you unscrewed in step 1 to coax end points one by one 4. When you connect to the correct end point it will beep. 5. Label that end point Checkout my video review for more details!

> 24 hourWe recently moved into an older home that had a control panel for the phones, ethernet and coax hookups. Problem was, it was a mess! Nothing was labeled, nothing was properly hooked up or split with the main line, the Xfinity guy that set everything up for us only got the downstairs one working, but since we didnt have TVs in the house yet he couldnt test if the other ones worked. Which is crazy because I feel like he must have had a similar tool like this to test it, but he didnt want to try I guess. So instead of calling and dealing with another tech, I thought with the power of the internet and this tool I could do it myself, and I was! I was able to identify which coax cables went to where and get them all labeled and now have working cables in all rooms. It didnt come with instructions, but its not too hard to figure out. The bottom section under where you unscrew for the battery. is the little speaker. So just pop the main unit (L shape one) onto where the line youre testing and then just go to the other end wherever that may be and then screw on the speaker into each line until you hear a high pitch noise, and BAM thats your line. Super easy peasy.

> 24 hourThis is a great pocket toner. Very easy to use and understand. You separate the speaker from the bottom and you attach the top part to the wall Jack or the end of a cable using a barrel then you go to the other end were all the cables are and you stick the little speaker on the cable ends and wait to hear it tone. When you hear it tone you know you have the right cable. Can also be used to identify a cabke connected to any power source.

> 24 hourI usually use a Klein scout to tone/test coax but this tool comes in handy for toneing wires quickly. The press on connection makes it a breeze to click through multiple wires to find the one your looking for. It doesnt replace a full blown tester/generated but at the price its worth adding to your tool bag.

> 24 hourHad to play with how tight the battery was screwed in to make it work, once I figured that out I was able to use it on 15 coax in my house

> 24 hourThis thing is so cool and it helped me with a mess of RG59 wiring pre-installed in my home to figure what is what. Only downfall would be lack of directions.

> 24 hourSimple, inexpensive - perfect for me - a homeowner with coaxile running through our new house and I needed to figure out what wire went to what room

> 24 hourThis item works great. I had to figure out how to put the battery in but that was the only issue. After you remove the sounding element, you still have to twist off the remaining battery enclosure ( it has a gripping pattern) to insert the battery. Once I got the battery in it did the job intended
