WARNINGS

CAUTION:

Many of the components used in this device are sensitive to

electrostatic charge.

In case of manipulation of the connection cables, disconnect the

power supply and avoid direct contacts with the connector

terminals.

When handling electronic components, to eliminate any static

electricity touch a grounded surface. If possible, wear a grounding

armband.

Failure to comply with these warnings could cause permanent

damage to device.

Connect the measurement cable of the U interface to the

instrument connector and then to the telecommunication line to

avoid accidental contacts with live parts of the TNV circuits.

To guarantee continuous protection for operator safety, only use

the mains adapter supplied with the instrument.

CLEANING

To clean the device use a soft cloth either dry or soaked with little

detergent. Never use any type of solvents, such as alcohol or

gasoline, to avoid damaging the finish.

► Side of the instrument with communication ports and connectors

Next you will find information on how to turn on and off the

instrument and set it up for the ‘start’ condition.

The D2061 ADSL Tester is available in two different versions, one for each

technologies supported D2061:

► ADSL over POTS, G.992.1/2 Annex A

► D2061-I: ADSL over ISDN, G.992.1 Annex B or U-R2

Information refers both to the POTS and ISDN version of the instrument. The

differences between the two versions are highlighted throughout the text.

All the functions preceded by this icon are available only with the

AB2001N POTS LINE ADAPTER.

All the functions preceded by this icon are available only with the
