PLEASE NOTE

Mongoose Pro interfaces have been carefully designed and tested to
comply with OBDII protocols. However, some vehicle models are not in full
compliance with these protocols for various reasons. In addition, the
computer control systems or sensors on any given vehicle may be
malfunctioning or out of specification.

While Drew Tech’s testing and the experience of thousands of Mongoose
Pro users have shown the unit to be safe and reliable, there is an inherent
risk in using any product that may potentially affect the operation or drive­ability of your vehicle.

If you are concerned about the operation of your vehicle at any time while
using Mongoose Pro:

* Pull off the roadway immediately or as soon as it is safe to do so.
* Disconnect Mongoose Pro from the OBDII port.
* Consult a licensed mechanic or automobile service center.

Report any issues or concerns to our Technical Support Dept. at
[e-mail]. We are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. We maintain an active database of the feedback
we receive, and your comments can help us continuously improve the
product.

Thank you for choosing Mongoose Pro! This “PassThru” vehicle
interface lets you use your PC to communicate and perform ECU
diagnostics and reprogramming on many modern vehicles.
The Mongoose Pro is an SAE J2534-compliant device at a low cost. It
provides a direct connection to a laptop or desktop computer via a
USB 2.0 full-speed connection. All of the electronics are contained in
the OBD-II connector shell, making it a compact and rugged vehicle
communications tool. The Mongoose Pro is powered by the USB
connector, so there’s no need to re-start the Mongoose Pro if it is
unplugged from a vehicle.

Getting to Know Mongoose Pro

Your package includes a Mongoose Pro, this Quick Start Guide, and a
CD that includes drivers and the Drew Technologies J2534 ToolBox.
