5. The tone can be sent through the center conductor, the shield or both.
Repeatedly press the CYCLE button to select the desired conductors.
The selection will be shown on the bottom of the display.

Shield
NOTE:
Applying the tone on the center conductor and the shield or just the
shield will allow the tone to be detected at a greater distance from the cable.
When trying to identify a cable in the presence of multiple cables,
sending the tone through just the center conductor will limit the signal
spreading to other cables. The cable that is being toned can be identified by
touching the probe tip to the center conductor at the end of the cable.
