Application
The KE3550 is a fast, easy to use and aordable multitester for the instal-
lation and troubleshooting of DSL services in hybrid ADSL1 / 2 / 2+ / VDSL2
and combined networks. With its numerous interfaces, it supports the entire
range of broadband network technology such as Vectoring, G.fast, Bonding
and Gigabit Ethernet.
Operation
The KE3550 is a powerful troubleshooting tool for quickly nding faults in the
network, outside wiring, customer devices or inside wiring. Because of this,
the KE3550 is the ideal solution for all broadband technologies.
Use
With its small size, robust design and intuitive operation, it is the perfect
tester for installers and service technicians. The user can perform his tasks
quickly and eciently with automatic detection of the xDSL service and de-
nable test procedures. The large display increases operating convenience
and, when storing results, the technician has numerous options for exporting
the tests and for compiling reports.

Caution: KE3700 / KE3550 may be operated only with the supplied ori-
ginalKEpowersupplyandneverunderanoutputvoltageover18V/DC!
Damage to the device resulting from inobservance will only be re-
paired for a fee!
Generally the PSU has to get plugged into the device rst
and then into the wall outlet.
Note: Please, fully charge the battery before the rst use!
The charging is completed when the charging LED changes from
orange to green. To check the charge indicator after the initial char-
ging, turn o the device and then turn it on again with the AC adapter
connected for about 1 minute. During this time, the battery indicator
will be calibrated and now displays the correct value.
