SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions in this manual. Use appropriate
personal safety equipment including hearing and eye protections when using the
scanner in or near the vehicle engine compartment. Failure to comply can result in
accidents involving fire, electrical shock, or serious personal injury.
Electrical
• Do not allow anything to rest on the cable assembly. Do not allow the cable
assembly to be pinched. Keep the cable assembly away from contact with heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cables immediately. Damaged
cables increase the risk of electrical shock.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not disassemble the CodeScout. There are
no user repairable components inside the unit.
• Please dispose of used batteries properly. Do not incinerate batteries. Consult your
local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal
options.
Use and Care

operating the CodeScout. Several operational tests require the engine in the vehicle
to be running during testing. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the
work area.
• Keep the CodeScout dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Use a mild detergent
on a clean cloth to wipe the outside off, when necessary.
• Only use accessories that are recommended by AutoXray.
Service
Service must only be performed by AutoXray repair personnel. Service or repair by
unqualified personnel may result in injury, damage to the unit, and may void your
warranty. Refer to the Product warranty Policy section of this manual.
