Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment. Wear safety eye protection that

Exhaust gases are poisonous. Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the
vehicle unattended while running tests.
Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires
and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is
running.
Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual
transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/ electrical fires nearby. Ignition is
on or the engine is running.

clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan tool, when necessary.
