Take a couple of wires and establish contact with the dc circuit. You can determine the positive wire by looking at the led. This is a necessary feature because sending a tone down a pair of shorted wires will kill the tone so much so that the probe won t be able to pick it up. Another use of the tone generator is to test the speakers in your cars.
