How do I trace a wire back to source?

we use them in the telco. field every day. nothing worse than trying to find a pair of wires from someones 25th floor apt. to a central box in the basement with hundreds of wires. put the toner on the phone jack in apt and use the wand to find them in the basement.
 
Thanks guys, amazing tool, it seems..
 
There are a few reasons you might need to trace a wire. Maybe you’re troubleshooting an electrical issue and need to find a break in the circuit. Or maybe you’re trying to install new equipment and need to know which wires to connect it to. Whatever the reason, tracing a wire with a multimeter is a relatively simple process that anyone can do with the right tools
