Introduction
Optional Stand and Hand Strap
2.4.2 AC Power Supply
The scan tool can be powered from a standard wall socket using the AC power supply and power
adapter. The power adapter fits to the data cable connector on top of the scan tool. The jack on the
output cable of the AC power supply attaches to the power adapter.
2.4.3 Vehicle Power
The scan tool receives power from the test vehicle when it is connected to a powered data link
connector (DLC) with the data cable. All OBD-II/EOBD compliant vehicles are required to have
battery power available on the DLC. If the scan tool does not power on when connected to an
OBD-II/EOBD DLC, there may be a circuit problem on the vehicle.
Certain vehicles do not provide vehicle power on the DLC. For these applications, a separate
cable adapter and power cable are needed to power the unit. Optional data cable adapters are
available for testing vehicle from a number of manufacturers. Contact your sales representative
for availability. The optional power cable connects to a port on the cable adapter.
2.5 Optional Stand and Hand Strap
An adjustable hand strap and a collapsible stand, that attach to the back of the scan tool housing,
are available as optional equipment. Contact your sales representative for availability of these and
other options for personalizing your scan tool
