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
- Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
- Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
- Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.
- Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area, for exhaust gases are poisonous.
- Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
- Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while testing.
- Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
- Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical fires nearby.
- Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running.
- Keep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment as necessary.
- Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time. Any distraction may cause an accident.
- Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the test equipment.
- To avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data, make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC is clean and secure.
- Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle. Strong electro-magnetic interference can damage the equipment.
COMPLIANCE
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: I.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. II. Increase the separation
between the equipment and receiver. Ill. Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. IV.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that IC
technical specifications were met.
RoHS COMPLIANCE
This device is declared to be in compliance with the European RoHS Directive
2011/65/EU.
CE COMPLIANCE
This product is declared to conform to the essential requirements of the
following Directives and carries the CE mark accordingly:
EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
R& TTE Directive 1999/5/EC
Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
Getting Started
