HOW TO USE

1) With the vehicle elevated, attach the clamps to the suspect areas. If, for example, you

suspect there is a bad wheel bearing, attach the clamps, one each, per wheel bearing. Put

the clamp on the tie rod or knuckle close to the inside of the wheel. In order to generate an

exact cross-comparison of sounds, place the clamp on identical opposite locations. With the

availability of two more channels, you could place transmitters on the transmission and

differential, since many times what you think is a wheel bearing turns out to be something

different. Or, if you suspect a brake problem, attach the 4 clamps adjacent to the brakes. The

closer the clamp is positioned to the suspected problem, the better sound reproduction you

will get.

2) Be sure the transmitters are securely fastened to the locations chosen.

Each Transmitter has 3 methods of attachment:

a) First, there are two internal magnets so that the transmitter can

hold to a metal surface.

b) Second, there is a velcro strap that can be wrapped around

any non-moving part.

c) Third, there is a spring-loaded clamp that can grab onto non-moving parts.

Be sure each transmitter is securely held in place with one of these methods to avoid

loss of transmitter from excessive bumps or shaking during road test.

Also, carefully check for clearance of all vehicle parts that are located close to the

transmitters to avoid contact/damage from movement or heat.

3) Using the location identifier note pad, record information on note pad of the location

and

corresponding channel for each mircrophone/clamp. This will allow you to properly assign the

problem noise to the proper malfunctioning part while conducting the road test.

4) It is highly recommended that if earphones are used during diagnoses (there is a

earphone jack available on the receiver), that there be a separate driver for the vehicle.

CAUTION:

It is against many state laws to operate a motor vehicle while wearing earphones.

5) Before conducting the road test, turn on the on/off-volume control switch located on the

front of the Wireless ChassisEAR®receiver. Select the first channel and adjust the volume

to the desired level. Various volume levels may reveal different sounds and problems.

Initially make a mental note of the sounds you hear as you listen. Next, push each channel

according to the location and make notes accordingly. You may make instant cross

comparisons of two locations, for example, channels #2 and #4, just by pushing the channel

indicators in an alternating manner.

IMPORTANT:

Make notes while driving (being cautious) as to what is heard on each channel (rattles,

squeaks, grinding, whining, etc.). When you have returned to the shop, you can then zero in

on the exact location of the noise/problem.

FUEL INJECTORS:

It is quick and easy to hook up the Wireless ChassisEAR®clamps on the fuel injectors.

The "tapping" solenoids are easily heard. If a clear metal-to-metal "ringing" sound is heard,

then the injector is clean. If the "needle" inside the solenoid is making a dull "thud", then a

deposit buildup more than likely exists inside the injector. A cleaning of the injectors is

suggested. It is important to listen to the injectors before and after cleaning in case one is still

dirty after cleaning.

NOTE:

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 residential installation. This equipment generates,

uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV Technician for help.

FCC INFORMATION - CLASS "B" DEVICE

NOTE:

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by

STEELMAN®

could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

NOTE:

Only Cable Leads/Clamps supplied with this equipment must be used. It is the responsibility

of the user to use only the accessories supplied with this equipment.

STEELMAN

Wireless ChassisEAR®is a versatile electronic listening tool which is

designed to allow the user to listen to amplified sounds through a speaker or earphones

DURING a road test.

Some of these vehicle parts/areas include:

1. Wheel Bearings

2. Brake Calipers

3. C.V. Joints

4. Leaf and Coil Springs

5. Differentials

6. Transmissions

7. Body Squeaks and Rattles

8. Under the Dash

During a road test under load, these parts make different sounds than when the car is on a

hoist. In order to accurately diagnose an under car problem, the car must be driven during

diagnoses so that all parts and bearings are under full load and actual driving conditions.

Before using the Wireless ChassisEAR

for the first time, please review the components.

There are up to 6 extremely sensitive microphones/clamps that can be attached adjacent to

many difficult to diagnose vehicle parts. (see under "How to Use")
