Tool Set-Up
The Tech1000 MUST be set-up before use. If at any time the tool is powered off during the Set-up
process, the set-up process will automatically start over. While the Tech1000 ships with a charged
battery, before starting it is recommended you charge your tool at least 50% to ensure your tool power
level is high enough to complete the set-up process. Note: The tool cannot be used while charging.
To Set-up the tool, you will need access to a Wi-Fi network. The tool will prompt you through the
following selections: Language, Region, connecting to your Wi-Fi network, and connecting to your
current account, or creating a new registered tool account via Service Center.
The “Eye” Icon will allow you to view your password as you type. Press again to hide the info on the
screen.
Note: You can also register the tool via the https://tools.bartecusa.com/ site, but the set-up application
will still need to be completed and your account info entered on the tool. At any time during the set-up
application the user can press the Back/ESC button to go back to the previous screen. Pressing the Home
Key will re-start the set-up process.

The Tech1000 is designed to work with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks.
With the standard production software, the tools have the ability to support the
following connection security types:
•WPA – Personal
•WPA2 – Personal
•Vendor EAP Type(s)
•EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2, PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2, PEAPv1/EAPGTC, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS
The following sites/locations must have granted access (white list) for your Tech1000 to properly
connect.
•Service Center: https://servicecenter.bartecusa.com/
•Updates: WIFI
•Registration: https://tools.bartecusa.com/TPMSDesktop/publish.htm
•Network status: http://network-test.debian.org/nm

Bluetooth
The Tech1000 is equipped with Bluetooth to interact with the Bartec Wireless VCI (Vehicle
Communication Interface) and Tread Depth Tools (TPG200 and Tech200PRO).
The Bartec Tech1000 comes with a Wireless VCI that needs to be
paired to tool. The VCI does not have its own power source, and
therefore must be connected (plugged in to) a vehicles DLC (OBDII
port) to use the power provided from the vehicle for pairing and
other use.
The easiest way to pair your VCI will be to navigate to the
Settings menu from the Home Screen, and select Connections
from that menu. You will see 3 options: WiFi, Bluetooth OBD,
and TPG200. Select Bluetooth OBD.
The tool will guide you through the process with pictures and
text on the screen, prompting you to connect the VCI to the
Vehicles OBDII Port (for the pairing process you can use ANY
vehicle you want). Follow the on tool instructions, and press
next when prompted.
The tool will scan for and locate your VCI (NOTE: before
connecting the VCI to the vehicle, it is best practice to take note
of the VCI serial number, as that is what will show on this list.)
Once you locate your VCI, tap on the serial number (on the tool
Screen) and the tool will prompt you to Connect (will appear
lower right of screen), and take you through the remaining
pairing process.
The Tech1000 offers a guided interactive
process to assist with using the VCI, including
Pairing and Troubleshooting. This is done using
color coded LEDs on the VCI and selecting the
color from the menu on the Tech1000.
The Bluetooth used on the VCI and Tech1000 has an optimal distance between devices
of 15 feet (as shown in the diagram). This allows the VCI to remain connected during
the entire TPMS & Service Process to interact with the tool. If at any time your tool/VCI
are not communicating, first insure you are within range.
