4.1.1.2 VCMI Connection
After the VCMI device is properly connected to the vehicle, the Power LED on the VCMI
device lights solid green, and is ready to establish communication with the tablet.
Coming with the MaxiSys MS919 tool kit, the VCMI device supports three communication
methods with the tablet: BT, Wi-Fi and USB.
Pairing Up via BT
In open areas, the working range for BT communication is about 328 feet (100 m) giving
technicians greater mobility to perform vehicle diagnosis from anywhere in the repair
shop.
To expedite multi-vehicle diagnostics, more than one VCMI can be used in busy repair
shops enabling technicians to quickly pair via BT their MaxiSys MS919 to each VCMI
separately and therefore eliminating the need to unplug the VCMI from one vehicle and
then connect it to another each time a new vehicle comes in for repairs.
 To pair the tablet with the VCMI device via BT
1. Power up the tablet.
2. Select the VCMI Manager application from the MaxiSys Job Menu.
3. When the VCMI Manager application is opened, the device automatically scans
for available VCMI devices for BT pairing. The found devices are listed in the
Setting section on the right side of the screen.
