1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan
tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following
safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:

Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.

Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.

Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from
all moving or hot engine parts.

Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust
gases are poisonous.

Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the
vehicle unattended while running tests.

Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,
distributor
cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
components create hazardous voltages when the engine is
running.

Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or
NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the
parking brake is engaged.

Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/
electrical fires nearby.

Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the
ignition is on or the engine is running.

Keep the scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use
a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan
tool, when necessary.
