Cleaning and damage inspection

•

Battery replacement

•

Storage tips

•

Disposal requirements (environmental hazards)

6.1 Cleaning and Damage Inspection

When using the scan tool, make sure to do the following:

•

Before and after each use, check the housing, wiring, and connectors for dirt and damage.

•

At the end of each working day, clean the scan tool housing, wiring, and connectors with a
clean damp cloth.

6.2 Replacing the Batteries

When the AA batteries no longer provide enough charge to power the scan tool, use the following
procedure to replace them.

NOTE:

We recommend connecting an alternate power source to the scan tool while changing batteries to
retain the clock and custom settings. See “Power Supply” on page 10 for options.

To replace the batteries:

Remove the right handgrip.

The battery slot is exposed (Figure 6-1).

Figure 6-1
