issue.

When activating my unit I get an error such as ‘Address field too long’ or
similar.
Please check your address, if your street address is very long you may need to
abbreviate it. Do not use Special Characters such as Commas or Slashes as
these will trigger errors, just leave a Space in their place when possible.
The app is running slowly when sorting out stored tests.
Please clean up tests regularly by transferring them to the computer using the
usb cable.
The time on my unit is wrong, how do I fix this?
Change the time to AUTOMATIC if you had changed it manual. Or if it’s on
network time but that is incorrect, connect to a network to get an updated
time.
Maybe your Timezone is wrong, so swipe up on the bottom of the screen and
press the Circle button. Once you’re on the home screen press the circle with
the six dots in it to open up the list of apps. Open ‘Settings’ and scroll
down to Date & Time under System. Switch off Automatic Time Zone if it’s on
and then set correct Time Zone manually if that is wrong.
My results are in the wrong units, how do I change them?
Open Settings from the apps main menu and then select Test Result Settings.
Choose your desired Units and then press either the house or gears icons to
save your choice. You can also change the units for deceleration on the test
results screen by pressing on the deceleration readings and choosing from the
menu that pops up.
Why am I getting a speed error?
The Workshop Pro is moving relative to the vehicle. This is a common error
when the unit is not secured properly to the vehicle. See Figure 2 on previous
page
- The supplied velcro will stop your Workshop Pro from moving in the seat, or if you have leather seats, place on the floor of the passenger side.
Never hold in your hand for the test, or between your legs, or on the floor of the driver’s side.
How do I delete a saved result?
To delete individual saved test results, open Database on the main App menu.
Hold your finger down on the test you want deleted and select ‘Delete Test’.
How do I turn the power on my printer?
Press and hold POWER button down for 2-3 seconds, or until the power indicator
light turns red.
Why the bluetooth printer is not connecting?
When connecting it takes time for the printer to pair, up to 20 seconds. You

hasn’t paired, please restart the tablet and make sure bluetooth is turned on.
Restart the bluetooth printer and make sure it is charged up. Check if the
bluetooth printer is paired by going to Settings > Bluetooth.
