Do Not Turn the Volume Up Too Loud When Using Headphones
Listening at high volumes that over-stimulate the ear for long periods of time may
result in loss of hearing.
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.
