2. Getting Started
2.1. Power up the Scan Tool
Before using the scan tool, you must provide
power to the scan tool. There are two methods for
providing power to the scan tool:
AC/DC external power adapter
Cable connection to vehicle
During vehicle testing, power for the scan tool is
usually provided through the vehicle cable
connection. When the scan tool is not connected
to a vehicle, the scan tool can be powered with an
AC/DC external power adapter.
