Powering On/Off and Emergency Shutdown

Powering On

Press and hold the Power button for 1-2 seconds, then release to turn the diagnostic tool on.

The system boots up, then opens the ShopStream Diagnostic Suite Home screen.

Powering Off

All vehicle communication must be terminated 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 Compact Scan Module when the diagnostic tool is communicating with the vehicle ECM.

Before turning the diagnostic tool off, it is highly recommended to back up personal and saved data to a USB mass storage device on a regular basis to prevent loss in the event of system corruption or hard disk drive failure, see Data Backup.
