3 OPERATION OF THE RADIO DEVICES
Wireless connection with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 2G / 3G / 4G technology
The wireless connectivity with the Bluetooth, WiFi and 2G / 3G / 4G technology is a technology
thatsuppliesa standard,reliablemethodto exchangeinformationbetweendifferentdevices,using
radio waves. Other than TEXA tools, many more products use this technology, such as cellular
phones, portable devices, computers, printers, photo cameras, Pocket PCs, etc.
The Bluetooth, WiFi and 2G / 3G / 4G 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 QUALITY OF BLUETOOTH, WiFi AND 2G / 3G / 4G 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.

9 TMD MK0 INSTALLATION AND POWER SUPPLY
The installation must be performed by qualified personnel only.
Make sure the installation does not interfere with the vehicle
operation.
Make sure the vehicle is off (instrument panel off) when
connecting the device to the battery terminals.
Periodically check that the connectors, wiring and supplied
cables are undamaged.
If the connectors, wiring and cables are damaged, contact the
assistance service for a replacement.
For any malfunction, contact the assistance service.
Clean the surfaces using an alcohol-based solution before applying
double-sided tape.
19

Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the supplied double-sided tape to the
device.
2. Fasten the device on the vehicle's battery.
3. Make sure the double-sided tape perfectly
adheres to the battery's surface.
4. Connect the device's red cable to the battery
positive terminal (+12V/+24V).
5. Connect the device's black cable to the
battery negative / ground terminal (-).
Do not remove the device by pulling the power supply cables.
Make sure the +12V / +24V and ground (-) connections are
correct in order to avoid the arising of false alarms from the TMD
MK0 (discharged battery alarm, power disconnection alarm).
