Safety Precautions
BEFORE OPERATING THIS TOOL, ALL OPERATORS SHOULD
READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS QUICK START GUIDE AND
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TOOL FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT
YOUR BOSCH REPRESENTATIVE OR DISTRIBUTOR.
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 death or serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
• When working with hydraulic or fuel lines, be careful
that liquids under pressure do not escape and create a
dangerous condition. Use adequate ventilation and make
sure there are no sparks or possibility of sparks that
may ignite any vapor.
• Wear an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Z87.1 approved eye shield when testing or repairing
vehicles.
• Objects propelled by whirling engine components or
pressurized liquids escaping may cause personal injury.
• Set the parking brake and block the wheels before test-
ing or repairing a vehicle. It is especially important to
block the wheels on front-wheel drive vehicles because
the parking brake does not hold the drive wheels.
• Do not drive the vehicle and operate the software at the
same time.
• Maintain adequate clearance around moving compo-
nents or belts during testing.
• Moving components and belts can catch loose cloth-
ing, body parts, or test equipment and cause serious
personal injury or tool damage.
• Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce
explosive gases that can result in serious injury due to
ignition of gases. Keep lit cigarettes, sparks, ames,
and other ignition sources away from the battery at all
times.
• Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being ser-
viced. Adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precau-
tions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
otherwise unneeded repairs.
• Use only specially designed replacement parts (brake
hoses and lines) for ABS equipped vehicles.
• After bleeding the brake system, check the brake pedal
for excessive travel or a ”spongy” feel. Bleed again if
either condition is present.
• When installing transmitting devices (Citizen Band
radio, telephone, etc) on ABS-equipped vehicles, do
not locate the antenna near the ABS control unit or any
other control unit.
• 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 interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates and radiates radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions.
• To reduce risk of injury, charge only Bosch Automotive
Service Solutions, Inc. supplied charging block and
power cord.
• Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger manufacturer may result in re, electric
shock, or personal injury.
• Do not operate the tool with a damaged cord or con-
nector. Replace damaged cords and connectors immedi-
ately.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take the charger to a qualied service person.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Take the charger to a
qualied service person if service or repair is necessary.
Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or re.
Unplug charger before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
• To prevent possible hearing damage, avoid using the
tool at high volume levels for long periods.
• Do not expose tool or charger to rain, moisture, or
snow.
• Verify that cords are located where they will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise become a safety
hazard or subjected to damage or stress.
• Use only batteries that are approved for use with this
tool. Use of other types may increase the risk of re or
explosion.
• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other
container where metal objects (such as car keys or pa-
per clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The
resulting excessive current ow can cause extremely
high temperatures and may result in damage to the bat-
tery pack or cause re or burns.
• The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it im-
properly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or
leaking battery with extreme care. If the battery is dam-
aged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause
personal injury.
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Do not store or leave your tool or battery near a heat
source such as a radiator, replace, stove, electric
heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise
expose it to temperatures in excess of 60ºC (140ºF).
When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells
could explode or vent, causing personal injury or risk of
re.
• Do not dispose of your tool’s battery in a re or with
normal household waste. Battery cells may explode.
Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer’s
instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency
for disposal instructions. Dispose of a spent or damaged
battery promptly.
CAUTION:
• To avoid damage or generation of false data, make sure
the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection
to the vehicle Data Link Connector (DLC) is clean and
secure.
• Do not place the tool on the distributor of a vehicle.
Strong electromagnetic interference can damage the
tool.
• Never disconnect or reconnect any electrical connec-
tor while the ignition is on. Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) damage may result.

Setup
1. Battery charging.
Connect the tablet to AC power
using the USB power block and USB
C charging cord and fully charge the
battery.
When the tablet is turned on, the
level of battery charge is indicated
in the upper right corner of the
screen.
Note: ADS 625X is supplied with 2 USB C
power cables and 1 USB power block.
2 ft. cable 6 ft. cable
Battery Life Tips
The tablet is an Android based touch-
screen tablet. The battery life icon
shows charge level. The scan tool lets
you know how much battery life is
left by viewing the icon located at the
top right of the home screen. Like all
Android devices, there are tips to help
extend or maximize battery life.
When not actively being used, the
screen will timeout and the scan
tool display will power off, while
application remains running in
background. The user can set the
length of delay between the last
screen touch and automatic screen
timeout (dim and lock). From the
Home screen, touch the Android App
button - Settings - Display.
Select Screen timeout, then select the
length of time from the last screen touch
and automatic screen timeout.
To use again, press the power button
to wake the tool up. This will allow
maximum run time, while not limiting
productivity.
When the tool is powered up, even if
it is not being actively used, Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth® radios as well as all other
necessary hardware are still being
powered. Battery life is comparable to
similar devices when in this state.
2. Docking station
The tablet, VCI, and cords should
be stored in the docking station
when not in use. The docking
station powers the VCI and provides
a slow, steady charge to the tablet
to preserve battery integrity.
Seat the tablet and VCI in the
docking station so that the docking
station connector at the bottom of
each device connects to the docking
station.
The docking station includes two
convenient USB ports to charge
accessories and other devices.
USB
ports
Notes:
• The docking station will not charge
the tablet if the tablet’s USB port is in
use. Ensure no devices are connected
to the USB port on the tablet before
connecting to the docking station.
• For fastest charging, charge the
tablet using the USB power block and
USB C charging cord.

Features
OBDII/DLC Cable
The OBDII/DLC cable has a LED lamp to
locate vehicle DLC and voltmeter that
displays battery voltage
• The LED in the OBDII cable end is
activated by a button on the side
of the connector. This feature is
provided to assist users in finding
the vehicle DLC.
• The vehicle battery indicator is
activated when the OBDII cable
is plugged into the vehicle and
displays the Pin 16 voltage available
on the vehicle DLC. A voltage
reading below 11.8 Volts will
activate an indication of “LO” or
if above 15.5 Volts and indication
of “HI” will activate highlighting
that the battery or charging system
needs attention.
