3.3 Operator Safety
Carefully evaluate the device's installation position.
An improper installation may cause severe damage and injuries.
Safety Measures:
•Make sure the installation does not compromise the correct functioning of the vehicle's
controls, in particular the brakes and, in general, the safety devices.
The device was manufactured to be electrically safe and
insulated and to work with specific supply voltage levels.
Improper use may expose the operator to the risk of electric
shock, even though of low intensity.
Safety Measures:
•Wear adequate personal protective equipment during all the operating phases.
•Do not handle or touch the device or any accessories (e.g. cables) with wet hands.
•If liquid should penetrate inside the device, immediately disconnect the power supply wiring
and contact technical assistance.
•Make sure the electric power supply devices (auxiliary batteries) are disconnected and that
they remain so during the entire installation before proceeding with the installation itself.
•Do not wear metal rings or bracelets when working on batteries.
The device was manufactured to be electrically safe and
mechanically resistant.
However, it is necessary to reduce the risk of damages to the
device that may cause burns.
Safety Measures:
•Avoid sparks or flames near the installation.
•Do not use the device if the antenna is damaged.
•Do not touch the damaged antenna with bare hands.
•Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
8

3.4 Device Safety
The device was manufactured to be mechanically resistant.
Careless use and excessive mechanical strain may impair its
efficiency.
Safety Measures:
•Do not drop, shake or knock the device.
•Do not place objects over the cables nor bend them.
•Do not carry out any type of intervention that may damage the device.
•Do not open or disassemble the device.
•Do not fold the device's antenna.
•Use the device only with the antenna it is provided with or with one authorised by the device's
manufacturer.
•Make sure the device and any accessory connected to it are firmly secured before moving
the vehicle they are installed on.
The device was manufactured to be electrically safe and to work with
specific supply voltage levels.
Failure to comply with the specifications related to the power supply
may impair its efficiency.
Safety Measures:
•Do not wet the device with water or other liquids.
•The device's power supply must always be connected following the indications provided in
this manual.
•Do not use external batteries to power the device.
•Wear the most suitable personal protective equipment to avoid static electricity.
The device was designed to be used in specific environmental
conditions.
Installing and using the device in environments with temperatures
and humidity that differ from those indicated may impair its efficiency.
Safety Measures:
•Position the device as indicated in this manual.
•Do not expose or install the device near sources of heat.
•Position the device in order to guarantee its proper ventilation.
•Do not use corrosive chemicals, solvents or harsh detergents to clean the device.
9

The electromagnetic compatibility tests carried out on the device
guarantee that it can be adapted to the technologies normally used
on vehicles (e.g. engine control, ABS, airbag, etc.). Nevertheless, if
malfunctions occur, contact the vehicle's dealer.
In particular, the device's proper operation could be compromised by
covering the antenna with shielding objects and/or materials.
Such materials force the device to work with a higher power
compared to what is normally required.
Safety Measures:
•Do not cover the antenna with shielding objects or materials.
10

3.5 Safety during the Installation
The installation of the device was carefully tested by qualified
personnel in TEXA.
You must follow some indications provided by the vehicle
manufacturer in order to install the device correctly.
Safety Measures:
•Follow the indications provided in the vehicle's manual carefully to disassemble the plastic
parts and the access to the compartments.
•Respect the safety distances from the systems with the following functions:
•airbag;
•ABS;
•speed limiter;
•seat belt pretensioners.
The installation of the device requires a connection to the vehicle's
electrical system.
Performtheconnection to the vehicle's electrical system making sure
not to compromise the safety and its correct functioning.
Safety Measures:
•Insulate each of the device's connections to the vehicle's electrical system.
•Equip the openings crossed by cables with fairleads.
•Do not compromise in any way the quality of the electrical and mechanical OEM wiring.
•Make sure the electric cables, the wiring in general, the fuel hydraulic pipes and the safety
pneumatic devices of the vehicle are not damaged during the installation.
•Do not change the current flow of an OEM circuit by cutting it off, increasing it or mechanically
changing it cables if not permitted by the vehicle manufacturer.
•Make sure the installation does not compromise the correct functioning of the vehicle's
controls, in particular the brakes and, in general, the safety devices.
•Do not connect to the electric circuits of systems with the following functions:
•airbag;
•ABS;
•speed limiter;
•seat belt pretensioners.
Thedevicemustbeinstalledso as to ensure it can work correctly and
safely.
Safety measures:

4 OPERATION OF THE RADIO DEVICES
Wireless connection with Bluetooth and LTE technology
The wireless connectivity with the Bluetooth and LTE technology is a technology that supplies a
standard, reliable method to exchange information between different devices, using radio waves.
Other than TEXA tools, many products use this technology, such as mobile phones, portable
devices, Computers, printers, cameras, Pocket PCs, etc.
The Bluetooth and LTE interfaces look for compatible electronic devices according to the radio
signal they emit and establish a connection between them. TEXA tools select and only prompt you
with compatible TEXA devices. This does not exclude the presence of other sources of
communication or disturbance.
THE EFFICIENCY AND THE QUALITY OF THE BLUETOOTH AND LTE COMMUNICATION
MAY BE INFLUENCED BY THE PRESENCE OF RADIO DISTURBANCE SOURCES. THE
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO MANAGE THESE TYPES OF
ERRORS; HOWEVER, IN THESE CASES COMMUNICATION MAY BECOME DIFFICULT AND
CONNECTION MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.
SHOULD THE WIRELESS CONNECTION ENCOUNTER SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT MAY
COMPROMISE A REGULAR COMMUNICATION, THE SOURCE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND ITS INTENSITY
REDUCED.
Position the tool so that the radio devices it is equipped with can work properly. In particular, do
not cover it with any shielding or metallic materials in general.
