hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which if not avoided, could result

in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, may result in

minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION used without the safety alert

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE OPERATING THIS TOOL, ALL OPERATORS SHOULD READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW ALL

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TOOL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT YOUR

MAC 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 vehi-

cles.

• Objects propelled by whirling engine components or pressurized liquids escaping may cause personal injury.

• Set the parking brake and block the wheels before testing 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. Any distractions may cause an accident. Have

one person operate the software as another person drives the vehicle.

• Maintain adequate clearance around moving components or belts during testing.

• Moving components and belts can catch loose clothing, 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 ignition of

gases, keep lit cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other ignition sources away from the battery at all times.

• Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced. Adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions

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.

800.MACTOOLS

• 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 interference in a resi-

dential installation. This equipment generates and radiates radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

• To reduce risk of injury, charge only Mac Tools rechargeable batteries for the handset product with the supplied

charger. Other types of batteries may burst causing injury to persons and damage.

• Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in fire, electric

shock, or personal injury.

• Do not operate the tool with a damaged cord or connector. Replace damaged cords and connectors immediately.

• 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 qualified service person.

• Do not disassemble the charger. Take the charger to a qualified service person if service or repair is necessary.

Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or fire 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 fire or

explosion.

• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys or paper

clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high

temperatures and may result in damage to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.

• The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or leaking

battery with extreme care. If the battery is damaged, 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 fire.

• Do not dispose of your tool’s battery in a fire 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 connector while the ignition is on. Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

damage may result.

Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI)

The Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) translates vehicle diagnostic data link information for the handset

using Wi-Fi wireless technology or a linked cable. The wireless capability of the tool is designed to communi-

cate with the VCI when it is within a range of roughly 30 feet, even though it is possible to go farther. Every

shop has different noise that can interfere and hamper the distance of a wireless network. Some types of noise

include cordless phones, certain lighting, other wireless networks in the area, and other signals.

ded with kit and charge battery before use.

• Trial mode: Unlocks all functions for 30 days.

• Demo Mode: Displays what functions may look like.

Periodically, updates will become available and the user will be notified by an icon on the screen. To update the

handset, there must be Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection available.

Software Applications Overview

The handset allows users to diagnose problems on a wide variety of vehicles (from electric to heavy duty

vehicles). Users are able to perform common service procedures, maintenance tests, and special tests to find

deficiencies with vehicle systems or components.

MACTOOLS.COM
