Safety Information
For your own safety and the safety of others, and to prevent damage to the device
and vehicles upon which it is used, it is important that the safety instructions
presented throughout this manual be read and understood by all persons
operating or coming into contact with the device.
There are various procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing vehicles,
as well as in the skill of the person doing the work. Because of the vast number
of test applications and variations in the products that can be tested with this
equipment, we cannot possibly anticipate or provide advice or safety messages
to cover every circumstance. It is the automotive technician’s responsibility to be
knowledgeable of the system being tested. It is crucial to use proper service
methods and test procedures. It is essential to perform tests in an appropriate
and acceptable manner that does not endanger your safety, the safety of others
in the work area, the device being used, or the vehicle being tested.
Before using the device, always refer to and follow the safety messages and
applicable test procedures provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or
equipment being tested. Use the device only as described in this manual. Read,
understand, and follow all safety messages and instructions in this manual.
Safety Messages
Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment
damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the
hazard level.
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the operator or to
bystanders.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the operator or to
bystanders.

iii
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.
Do Not Turn the Volume Up Too Loud When Using Headphones
Listening at high volumes that over-stimulate the ear for long periods of
time may result in loss of hearing.
SAFETY WARNINGS:
⚫Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
⚫Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
⚫Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc., away from all
moving or hot engine parts.
⚫Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area.
⚫Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or
NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking
brake is engaged.
⚫Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while testing.
⚫Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor
cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create
hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
⚫Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and
electrical fires nearby.
⚫Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition
is on or the engine is running.

iv
⚫Keep the test equipment dry, clean, and free from oil, water, and
grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside
of the equipment as necessary.
⚫Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same
time. Any distraction may cause an accident.
⚫Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced and
adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do
so may result in personal injury or damage to the test equipment.
⚫To avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data,
make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection
to the vehicle DLC is clean and secure.
⚫Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle.
Strong electro-magnetic interference can damage the equipment.
⚫Do not place the device in a strong electromagnetic environment
for strong electromagnetic interference may damage the device.
