Chapter 2 Introduction

This chapter introduces the basic features of the Diagnostic Tool, including the co ntrol button s, data ports, battery pack, and power sources. Your Diagnostic Tool is a specialized personal automotive diagnostic solution that combines information with test instrumentation to help you diagnose symptoms, codes, and complaints quickly and ef ficie ntly. There are three main components to the system:
Diagnostic Tool—central processor and monitor for the system
Scope Module—device for sampling circuits and signals
Scan Module—wireless device for accessing vehicle data
This manual describes the operation of these three devices and how they work together to deliver diagnostic solutions.

Built-in Stand
The built-in stand extends from the back of the Diag nostic Tool to allow hands-fr ee viewing. The stand clips into the Diagnostic Tool for storage and pivots out so the display is at a 45 degree angle when in use.
Power Sources
Your Diagnostic Tool can receive power from any of the following sources:
Internal Battery Pack
AC/DC Power Supply
Vehicle Power
Docking Sta tion (Optional)
Internal Battery Pack
The Diagnostic Tool can be powered from the internal rechargeable battery pack. A fu lly charged standard battery pack provides suf ficient po wer for ab out 5 hours of continuou s operation . The LED backlit power button indicates the battery status.
AC/DC Power Supply
The Diagnostic Tool can be powered from a standard AC outlet using the AC/DC power supply. When connected to the Diagnostic Tool, the AC/DC power supply also recharges the internal rechargeable battery pack.

NOTE:
Remote Operation
If needed, the Scope Module (M4) can be removed from the Diagnostic Tool, then con nected to the Diagnostic Tool with a USB cable. This increases the range of mobility for the Diagnostic Tool while monitoring signals on the test vehicle. Use the T y pe A/B USB cable, wh ich is provided with your kit, to make the connection. For additional information see, Using the Sco pe Module
Remotely on page 85.
i When used remotely, the M4 must be connected to the lower (black) USB jack on the diagnostic
tool. The upper (blue) USB jack should not be used for M4 opera tion.
