Safety Information

For your own safety and the safety of others, and to prevent damage to the device and vehicles upon which it is used, it is important that the safety instructions presented throughout this manual be read and understood by all persons operating or coming into contact with the device.

There are various procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing vehicles, as well as in the skill of the person doing the work. Because of the vast number of test applications and variations in the products that can be tested with this equipment, we cannot possibly anticipate or provide advice or safety messages to cover every circumstance. It is the automotive technician’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of the system being tested.
It is crucial to use proper service methods and test procedures. It is essential to perform tests in an appropriate and acceptable manner that does not endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work area, the device being used, or the vehicle being tested.

Before using the device, always refer to and follow the safety messages and applicable test procedures provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or equipment being tested. Use the device only as described in this manual. Read, understand, and follow all safety messages and instructions in this manual.

Safety Messages

Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the hazard level.

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.

Safety Instructions

The safety messages herein cover situations Autel is aware of. Autel cannot know, evaluate or advise you as to all of the possible hazards. You must be certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not jeopardize your personal safety.

DANGER

When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system.
Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes
slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life.

SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flush eye with cold running water for at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Use caution when working with metallic tools to prevent sparks or short circuits.
Remove any jewelry or watches before you start servicing the battery.
Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as tester leads and cords away from moving blades and belts.

Inspecting the Battery

Before starting a test, observe the battery for:

Cracking, buckling, or leaking. If you see any of these defects, replace the
battery.
Corroded, loose, or damaged cables and connections. Repair or replace them as needed
Corrosion on the battery terminals, and dirt or acid on the case top. Clean the case and terminals using a wire brush and a mixture of water and baking soda.

Connecting to a Battery

Connect the clamp cable to the clamp cable port of the tester, and tighten the connector of the clamp cable. Long press the Lock/Power button to turn on the tester. Select the desired function and follow the instructions on the screen.
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to the
negative (-) terminal.

Establish Vehicle Communication

Connect the VCI to the vehicle’s DLC, which is generally located under the vehicle dash.
Connect the VCI to the tester via Bluetooth pairing. Check the VCI icon at the top right corner of the screen. The icon will be displayed with a green check mark on it if the connection is successful.

Compliance Information

FCC Compliance

FCC ID

WQ8BATSTB2022
WQ8BATSTBV200

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

WARNING

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

SAR

The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact is minimized during normal operation.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/Kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to antenna should be minimized.

RF WARNING STATEMENT

The device has been evaluated to meet general RF exposure requirement. The device can be used in portable exposure condition without restriction. The minimum use distance is 10mm.

RoHS COMPLIANCE

This device is declared to be in compliance with the European RoHS Directive 2015/863/EU.

CE COMPLIANCE

This product can be used across EU member states.
We declares that this device is in compliance with the essential requirements and
other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU.
