Safety Instructions
The safety messages herein cover situations Autel is aware of. Autel cannot
know, evaluate or advise you as to all of the possible hazards. You must be
certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not
jeopardize your personal safety.
DANGER
When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or
attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system.
Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes
slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flush eye with cold running
water for at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Use caution when working with metallic tools to prevent sparks or short
circuits.
Remove any jewelry or watches before you start servicing the battery.
Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as tester leads and cords away
from moving blades and belts.

Compliance Information
FCC Compliance FCC ID: WQ8MAXIBASBT609
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada’s
license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Cet appareil est conforme aux CNR exempts de licence d’Industrie Canada.
Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:
1. Ce dispositif ne peut causer des interferences; et
2. Ce dispositif doit accepter toute interférence, y compris les interférences
qui peuvent causer un mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareil.

WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
SAR
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact is minimized during normal operation.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/Kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the network. To avoid the possibility of
exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to
antenna should be minimized.
The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification
for use when properly worn on the body is 1.421 W/kg.

2015/863/EU.
CE COMPLIANCE
This product can be used across EU member states.
We declares that this device is in compliance with the essential requirements
