To access the adapters, open the
back of the transmitter. All five plugs
are contained in individual slots.
During use, the appropriate plug can
be pulled out of the slot, and the
cover closed. The On/Off button is
located on the front of the housing.
To activate the unit, press this button
once. The LED will blink, indicating
that a signal is being transmitted.
The unit can be turned off by
pressing this button again.
To conser ve battery life, the unit will
turn itself off after 30 minutes.

GET-4220R Rece
The Wire Tracker™ (GET-4110K) and
LAN Tracker™ (GET-4220K) are
designed to trace a variety of
unenergized wires. Each unit comes
with a transmitter and a receiver.
Under perfect conditions, the receiver
will function up to 12” from the wire
being traced. Results will vary based
on factors such as insulation type,
proximity to other bundled wire, etc.
This is normal, and is true of all wire
tracing devices on the market.
The transmitter contains five (5)
adapters for connection to common
wiring applications.

Fold the plug or clip out and close
the housing door. Connect the
transmitter to the wiring and press
the On/Off button to activate.
Activate the receiver by depressing
the On/Off button and continuing to
hold down. Bring the receiver near
the transmitter and check for the
audible and visual signals. This
verifies that both units are functioning
properly. Trace wiring by following the
audible and visual signals that the
receiver is producing.
To prevent interference, disconnect
the house line from the main
telephone company service. This can
be done by locating the junction box
where the house is connected to the
telephone company wiring. Remove
any connections from the house to
this box, making sure to note the
proper location of each wire for later
reconnection. Use the RJ-11
(telephone) plug for insertion into a
standard telephone jack. Trace the
wiring as described above.

The receiver can be placed in the
front slot of the transmitter for easy
storage. The unit contains an On/Off
button on the top, located behind the
sensitivity wheel. To activate the
receiver, press and hold this button.
The unit is now locating the signal.
Bring the unit near the wire being
traced. If this is the correct wire, an
audible “warbling” tone will be heard,
and the LED will increase in
brightness. Use the sensitivity wheel
to adjust the sensing range.
Electric Shock Hazard.
Trace only unenergized wiring.
Contact with live circuits can
result in severe injury or death.
Always disconnect power to the
circuit prior to using the
Wire Tracker or LAN Tracker.
Open the back of the transmitter and
select the appropriate plug or clip for
the wiring being traced.

sensitive to voltage and current
pulses such as air bags, electronic
control modules, etc.
• Do not connect the transmitter to
circuits for power-train, engine,
transmission, ABS brakes or any
other electronic control modules.
Locate the fuse box in the automobile.
Remove the appropriate fuse for the
wiring being traced. This will also
disconnect the power from the battery.
Insert the fuse plug into the nonenergized side of the fuse receptacle.
Trace the wiring as described above.
To boost the signal, the black alligator
clip may be connected to a suitable
ground, such as the car frame.
(GET-4220K Only)
To prevent interference, remove all
connections from the data network to
any outside source. Use the RJ-45
(data) plug for insertion into a
standard data/LAN jack.

To enhance the signal strength and
increase the operating range of the
receiver, the black alligator clip may
be connected to an external
equipment ground. This will greatly
increase the functional range of the
receiver.
To prevent interference, disconnect
the cable in the house from the cable
company wiring. This connection can
be found where the main cable enters
the house. Connect the co-axial plug
to any co-axial jack in the house.
Trace the wiring as described above.

The Transmitter uses two (2) AAA
batteries. To replace them, open the
transmitter case and identify the
battery compartment on the left.
Remove the cover and replace the
batteries, noting the polarity shown
on the cover.
The Receiver uses four (4) button cell
batteries (LR44). To replace them,
locate the battery cover at the back
of the tester. Push the cover off to
expose the batteries. Replace with
new batteries, noting the polarity
shown in the battery compartment.

Trace the wiring as described above.
You may notice that the receiver must
be contacting the LAN wire and is
stronger along one side of the wire.
This is normal and is due to the
physical properties of the LAN cable,
which is designed to prevent
interference from external signals.
Make sure all wiring is
disconnected from any
power source.
To trace a single wire, connect the red
lead alligator clip to the wire to be
traced. To boost the signal, connect
the black lead alligator clip to a
suitable ground. Two wires can be
traced at the same time by connecting
one alligator clip to each wire;
however, the signal will not be as
strong as it is while tracing a single
wire with the black alligator clip
connected to ground. Trace the wir ing
as described above.
