Safety Precautions and Warnings 

To  prevent  personal  injury  or  damage  to  vehicles  and/or  the  tool,  please  read  this  user’s 
manual first carefully and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever 
working on a vehicle: 

  Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment. 

  Do  not  attempt  to  operate  or  observe  the  tool  while  driving  a  vehicle.  Operating  or 

observing the tool will cause driver distraction and could cause a fatal accident. 

  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  P  (for  A/T)  or  N  (for  M/T)  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 tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean 

cloth to clean the outside of the tool, when necessary. 

 

Warning 

This device complies  with  Part 15  of the  FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following 
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
