NORMAL POWER UP OF BMW RCK3 VCI
To power on the RCK3 VCI, connect the RCK3 VCI to the PC using the supplied USB cable.
When first powered on, the green motorcycle LED will light up followed by the green Host (PC)
LED and then the green Power LED.
When the RCK3 VCI is connected to the Host computer and the user selects the RCK3 VCI
from the RCK3 software, the green Host icon LED will flicker. This confirms the PC is
communicating with the RCK3 VCI.
Note, on initial installation of the RCK3 PC software, the firmware on the RCK3 VCI will need
to be updated. When an update on the VCI is available, it will prevent a connection between
the PC and RCK3 VCI. The RCK3 application software will notify you that the RCK3 VCI
needs to have the firmware updated.
