• Ärge kunagi kasutage seda tööriista muuks rakenduseks kui see, milleks see on loodud.
• Ärge kunagi muutke ega muutke seda tööriista mingil viisil. Tööriista ebaõige kasutamine ja/või hooldus või tööriista muutmine võib põhjustada tõsiseid vigastusi või surma.
• Kasutaja poolt hooldatavaid osi pole. Laske seadet hooldada kvalifitseeritud remonditöötajal, kasutades ainult identseid varuosi. See tagab seadme ohutuse säilimise. Seadme lahtivõtmine tühistab garantiiõiguse.
• Ettevaatust: This tool contains an internal Lithium Polymer battery. The battery can burst or explode, releasinohtlikke kemikaale. Tulekahju või põletuste ohu vähendamiseks ärge võtke akut lahti, purustage, torgake ega visake seda tulle ega vette.
• See toode ei ole mänguasi. Ärge lubage lastel selle esemega või selle läheduses mängida.
• Ärge jätke seadet vihma või märgade tingimuste kätte.
• Ärge asetage seadet ebastabiilsele pinnale.
• Ärge kunagi jätke seadet laadimise ajal järelevalveta. Seade tuleb laadimise ajal asetada mittesüttivale pinnale.
• Käsitsege seadet ettevaatlikult. Kui seade kukub maha, kontrollige, kas see pole purunenud ja mis võivad selle tööd mõjutada.
• Ärge kasutage tööriista plahvatusohtlikus keskkonnas, näiteks tuleohtlike vedelike, gaaside või tugeva tolmu läheduses.
• Keep the tool dry, clean, and free of oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the enclosure of the device when necessary.
• Südamestimulaatoriga inimesed peaksid enne kasutamist konsulteerima oma arsti(de)ga. Südamestimulaatori vahetus läheduses olevad elektromagnetväljad võivad põhjustada südamestimulaatori häireid või südamestimulaatori rikkeid.

4.2.2 Manual Diagnostics

If Auto-Detect fails, you can perform vehicle diagnosis manually. Ensure the corresponding vehicle manufacturer software is installed. The diagnostic menu varies by vehicle make, model, and year.

Järgige neid üldisi samme.

1. Valige Kohalik diagnoos.
2. Valige Sõidukitootja.
3. Valige Sõiduki mudel.
4. Valige Skaneerimisrežiim (Automatic System Detection or Manual System Detection).
5. Valige Testimisfunktsioon (e.g., Read Version Information, Read Fault Code, Clear Fault Code, Read Data Stream, Special Function).
