LIFELINE J-Rex Remote Diagnostics
Dear Customer ,
Congratulations on your new
J-ReX!
You are only a few steps away from using the J-ReX for the first time. Please
make sure you have the login details that you received via the no-reply email
from Jifeline:mailer@obd.help
Note:
Jifeline remote devices only work with a strong and stable WiFi network of
2.4Ghz and when connected to the OBD port of the vehicle. Make sure you have
sufficient battery voltage.
STEP 1
Attach the supplied OBD cable to the J-ReX using the Torx 10 tool.
STEP 2
Connecting the J-ReX to your WiFi network:
- a. Connect the 16-pin OBD connector of the J-ReX to the OBD port of the vehicle. About 60 seconds after connecting, the orange led, top left of the ethernet connection led, will be on constantly.Almost at the same time, the green led, at the top right of the ethernet connection led, will start flashing slowly. The J-ReX can now be connected to a WiFi network. It is preferable to go through these steps with your smartphone: you only have to do this once.
- b.Turn off mobile data in the settings. Go to “available networks” in your WiFi settings and select the J-ReX. The J-ReX has the network name “connector 3xxxx” (“3xxxx” is the number of the J-ReX, you can find it on the back of the J-ReX). Ignore notifications about the WiFi connection being lost or disconnected. This is correct because you are connecting to the J-ReX.
- c. Go to: connector.help via the browser or scan the QR code. Select the WiFi network to which you want to connect the J-ReX (this can also be a hotspot on another device).
- d. Enter the password of the chosen network to connect the J-ReX with. If the connection is lost, try again to choose and connect to a WiFi network.
- e. Wait approximately 60 seconds for both the green and orange leds to light constantly. The J-ReX is then connected to the Jifeline server. If not, reset the J-ReX (see bottom left).To connect the J-ReX to another network, or to reset the J-ReX:
If you plan to use the J-ReX on the road or in another location or are experiencing connection issues:
- Connect the 16-pin OBD connector of the J-ReX to the OBD port of a vehicle.
- Use the supplied reset pin or a paper clip and press the reset switch for at least 2 seconds and release it.
- From here, go back to step 2b.
STEP 3
Prepare for use.
- Go to lifeline.obd.help via the browser of your PC / laptop, tablet, or smartphone or scan the QR code and fill in the login details you received by email.
- You can now make a choice for the service you want to perform.
