Provide Power to Scan Tool

Figure 6: Batteries and Power Cord
Before using the scan tool, provide power from either six (6) internal 1.5 volt
batteries or from an external power adapter. (After you start vehicle diagnosis,
OBD II vehicle cable connections provide external power to the scan tool.)
•
The 1.5 volt batteries can be either alkaline or rechargeable nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) batteries. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment on the back
side of the scan tool.
IMPORTANT: Use only high-quality batteries. During long periods of
storage, remove the batteries to prevent damage from battery leakage.
•
The cigarette lighter power adapter provides power from the vehicle's battery.
For some scan tool functions (System Setup, Playback), use of the adapter is
optional but preserves the life of the internal batteries. For other functions
(OBD I testing), use of the adapter is required. To use the adapter, insert the
pin into the port on the top of the scan tool and insert the plug into the vehicle's
cigarette lighter. Turn the vehicle's ignition key to the On (Run) position.
•
Accessory components are available for connecting the scan tool directly to the
vehicle's battery or to an electrical outlet. For details, refer to the User Guide.
IMPORTANT: To conserve internal battery life, use either an OBD II
vehicle cable connection or a power adapter as the scan tool's primary
power source; do not use the internal batteries as the primary power
source. Use the internal batteries only when adjusting default scan tool
settings, during test startup (for vehicle identification), or when uploading
files to the ScanMate software on a PC. In addition, use the backlight in
poorly-lit conditions only.
