The measurement operation has to be performed with the car engine off, with battery chargers disconnected from 

 

the car battery and with radio-frequency devices away from the passenger compartment. 

 

- Turn on the 

bit Tune

 powering it with the power supply adapter and connect the 

USB

 cable to the PC. 

 

- Open the bit Tune PC software clicking on the icon on the PC Desktop selecting either the 

“bit Tune + Processor”

 

 

mode, or the “bit Tune” mode.
