2.1.3. Safety Precautions for the HG-VCI PC
Observe the following to avoid incorrect handling and injury to the user or destruction of the HG-VCI PC arising from this:
• Ensure that the HG-VCI PC is not being touched during the communication with the diagnostic device (keep a mini-
mum distance of 20 cm).
• Protect the HG-VCI PC from long periods of exposure to solar radiation.
• Protect the HG-VCI PC from hot components.
• Protect the HG-VCI PC from rotating parts.
• Regularly check connecting cables/accessory parts for damage (destruction of the HG-VCI PC due to short circuit).
• Use the HG-VCI PC only in accordance with these instructions.
• Protect the HG-VCI PC from fluids such as water, oil or gasoline. The HG-VCI PC is not watertight.
• Protect the HG-VCI PC from strong impacts and do not drop it.
• Do not open the HG-VCI PC on your own. Only technicians authorized by Hella Gutmann are allowed to open the
HG-VCI PC. Warranty and guarantee will be rendered void at any case of unauthorized tampering of the device or if
the protective seal is damaged.
• If the HG-VCI PC is not working properly, contact Hella Gutmann or a Hella Gutmann trading partner without delay.
2.1.4. Safety Precautions for High Voltage/Line Voltage
Very high voltages occur in electrical systems. Due to voltage flashover on damaged components, such as marten dam-
age or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is likely. High voltage via the vehicle and line voltage via the
building's mains supply can cause severe injury or even death if adequate care is not taken. Voltage flashover can occur
e.g. on the primary and secondary side of the ignition system, the connection to the vehicle, the lighting systems or the
wiring harness with plug connections. Therefore regard the following:
• Only use power supply cables with grounding contact.
• Only use a checked or the attached power cord.
• Always use the original cable set.
• Regularly check cables and adapters for damage.
• Perform any assembly work such as the connection of the diagnostic device to the vehicle or the replacement of com-
ponents only when ignition is switched off.
