Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.

WA R N I N G

 

Replace only with the same type recommended.

 

 

Do NOT dispose of batteries in a fire.

WA R N I N G

 

Do NOT place batteries in the trash. Batteries must be

 

 

recycled or disposed of properly.

 

Recharge the battery only in the analyzer. If left unused, a

C ACUATUI O- N

 

fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

 

 

Never use a damaged or worn-out adapter or battery.

 

Charging the batteries internally, even while the analyzer

 

is powered off, the analyzer may become warm. To avoid

 

overheating, always disconnect the analyzer from the AC

 

adapter before storing the analyzer into the soft carrying

 

case.

 

We strongly recommend you to connect the automotive

C ACUATUI O- N

 

adapter to the power output connector for IT equipment,

 

when charging the battery on your automotives.

 

The VxWorks operating system requires full conformity to

C ACUATUI O- N

 

USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 standards from a USB disk. Not all the

 

USB disk are built that way. If you have problems

 

connecting a particular USB disk, please reboot the

 

analyzer before inserting the next.

 

Temperature extremes will affect the ability of the battery

to charge. Allow the battery to cool down or warm up as

 

 

necessary before use or charging.

 

Storing a battery in extreme hot or cold places will reduce the

 

capacity and lifetime of a battery. Battery storage is

 

recommended at a temperature of less than 45 oC.

 

The LAN port is reserved for future expansion. It is
