Basic Features / Controls / Navigation

To manually turn on the diagnostic tool, press and release the Power button .

The diagnostic tool will automatically turn on when:

●a live AC power supply is connected to the diagnostic tool

Never connect the AC power supply adapter, or optional power cable to the diagnostic tool when communicating with a vehicle.

●the Data Cable is connected to a vehicle (that has 12VDC at the data link connector (DLC))

Power may be supplied by any one of the following:

●Charged internal battery pack
●Live AC power supply (charging internal battery)
●The vehicle data link connector (DLC) (diagnostic tool data cable connected)

All vehicle communication must be stopped BEFORE turning off the diagnostic tool. A warning message displays if you attempt to turn the diagnostic tool off while communicating with the vehicle. Forcing a shut down while communicating may lead to ECM problems on some vehicles. Never disconnect the Data Cable when the diagnostic tool is communicating with the vehicle ECM.

1. Exit all functions and communication with the vehicle.
2. Follow all screen prompts, to exit functions.
3. Press and release the Power button .

Using the emergency shutdown procedure while communicating with the vehicle ECM may lead to ECM problems on some vehicles.

During normal operation turn the diagnostic tool off using the Turning Off procedure above. The emergency shutdown procedure should only be used If the diagnostic tool does not respond to navigation or control buttons or exhibits erratic operation. To force an emergency shutdown, press and hold the Power button for five seconds until the diagnostic tool turns off.

There are four “push type” control buttons and one “thumb pad rocker type” multi-directional button located on the right side of the diagnostic tool. All other diagnostic tool operations are controlled through the touch screen.

Touch screen controls are used for most operations, however the control buttons may also be used to navigate and select functions.
