The diagnostic tool can be powered from the internal rechargeable battery pack. A fully charged battery pack provides sufficient power for about 3 hours of continuous operation.
Battery charging occurs whenever the data cable is connected to a vehicle DLC. Battery charging also occurs when the AC power supply is connected to a live AC power source, and connected to the diagnostic tool. Use the supplied AC power supply to charge the battery pack.
Insert the end of the AC power supply cable into the diagnostic too power supply jack, then connect the AC power supply to an approved AC power source.
Only use the supplied AC power supply. Never connect the power supply to the diagnostic tool when the tool is communicating with a vehicle.
The Battery Status Indicator LED (located next to the power supply jack) indicates battery status.
