Switch to Continuity Mode and use both alligator clips to check for continuity and short circuit.
Alligator Clips
In Tone mode connect the red clip to the Wire you wish to trace and the black clip to ground if possible.
In Continuity mode connect each clip to each end of the circuit cable. If the wire is short circuited or broken the Red LED with light. You can then use Tone mode to trace the wire all the way to the break location.

It worked, Was going to start tearing out walls and tracing to find the short. After search I found this Wife and kids pleaded with me to get it. I had never heard of one before and had no idea how to use it. But watched some videos and found it was not hard to use to trace wires. Found a smoke alarm that was replaced and the old electric hookup was not removed breaking the circuit.by grounding it out.I did get a few false starts following the wire in the wrong direction before I found the right direction. running where I would have never dreamed it would run. I would have had to tear out and replace two walls and all of the ceiling if I tried to trace it that way. So At the price, it was a good investment.

This tracer/ toner worked like a charm! I had a receptacle that had no power going to it. Couldn’t figure out what curcuit it was on as the receptacle was at the very end of a wiring run. Used this device to trace the wiring located in the wall, covered by drywall on both sides, back to another receptacle box, which was hidden in a pantry cabinet wall, where there was a defective ( and un-necessary) GFCI receptacle that was causing the problem. The audible tone of this tracer/ toner was very strong and sensitive allowing easy tracing of the wiring in the wall. Excellent value for the price

I used the product to trace unknown circuits. I wish I had this product when I was an apprentice electrician a half a century ago.

Premetto che uso questi strumenti da anni e per urgenza lo ho ordinato. Praticamente impossibile individuare i cavi il segnale non viene praticamente rilevato anche in presenza della sola guaina, se sei fortunato senti il bitono bassissimo purtroppo non ho piu la confezione per restituirlo altrimenti lo avrei fatto.

It worked too well , to find a broken wire on my truck the noise went past it by 2' which had me puzzled but that's just the way it works , so go back about 2' after the noise stops . Good deal , don't know how other companies can charge $300

The circuit tracer arrived two business days after the order was placed. The tracer was of adequate quality to work well. I have used other tracers to find phone circuits as a technician in the past. I was not built to hold up under rough use but it's cost is a fraction of what an industrial grade tracer costs. The transmitter emits a distinctive warble that is easy to find with the tracer. The volume is adjustable so you can prevent crosstalk into adjacent circuits. I have used the tracer twice since it arrived. The first on a telephone wire that had stopped working. I was able to find a bad connection in a phone jack two rooms away from where the wire entered the house. Now I can use a phone with a touch pad that I don't have to pull the phone away from my ear to use. The second was on an electrical wire. The circuit once fed a pump that has been removed during a renovation. After de-energizing the circuit, I was able to trace the wire from the electrical panel into the attic and find the end of the wire. The circuit will be re-purposed without having to purchase a new breaker and wire. This is an inexpensive tracer that does the job. I recommend it.

great little gadget works really well, was able to find hidden wiring that saved me a lot of time probably would not have never found them otherwisefor house wiring I found switching off the mains supply really helped and connecting both leads one to earth and the other to the wiring you are looking to trace mine was buried behind plaster that I never thought possible there was anything on that wall..:?really pleased with my purchase quick delivery and well packed

I understand that you are not responsible for the making of this device, how ever my opinion of this device is not that great. Based upon the description I was lead to believe prior to purchase was that this device has the ability to locate a wire that could not be seen. Yes this device does this to a very small degree. When the wire in question is attached to and the attempt is made to locate the wire sounds a lot easier than what the reality indicates. What happens is that as you move the wand with the receiver tip over the wire, yes it does emit a tone from the sending unit. How ever it is only if the wand is within 1/2 inch from the wire. If the wand is farther away, the device gives out no indication of an existing wire. Unless the wand is directly over the wire you will have no indication of a wire. Now understand when you are searching for a wire it is a wire you can not see. So if the wire in question you are looking for has to have at the most a distance of one inch in order to be located does not give you much room for success in locating that wire. Other than that the device is OK.
