Emissions Testing
Before attempting to test vehicle emissions levels, ensure that the base station and
handset are fully charged (see ‘Power Management’, page 7) for remote operation.
For on-road testing if the base station batteries are low, connect the base station to
the vehicle supply cable (optional). With this configuration the batteries will not charge
but the supply to the base station is maintained.
OmiScan Gas emissions testing can be undertaken by using the handset separated
from, or in position on, the base station.
Handset Navigation
Press the ‘Power up’ buttons on the base station and then on the handset, the
handset screen displays the ‘Main Menu’ and lists the functions available:
Gas Analyzer
PC/USB Mode

The handset will automatically start searching for the Bluetooth
®
Wireless
Technology address specific to the base station. The handset and the base station
are ‘paired’ together to prevent any interference or acquisition from other Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology devices such as laptop PCs or mobile telephones. After a few
seconds an antenna icon will appear in the top LH corner of the screen indicating that
the Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology link has been established. This icon will always
be displayed whilst the link is made.
The battery icon in the top RH corner reflects the charge status of the handset battery
pack.
NOTE: The battery icon will flash empty to indicate a low battery charge for either the
handset or the base station - see ‘Power Management’, page 7.
The Main Menu has four options:
Gas Analyzer - Emission testing and analyzer system checks
PC/USB Mode - Used for down loading test result and updating handset
