Provide Power to Scan Tool
Before using the scan tool, you must provide power
to the scan tool. There are three methods for providing
power to the scan tool:
AC/DC external power adapter
Cable connection to vehicle
Internal battery pack
During vehicle testing, power for the scan tool is
usually provided through the vehicle cable connection.
(Therefore, it is not necessary to have the
internal battery pack fully charged before testing.)
When the scan tool is not connected to a vehicle, the
scan tool can be powered with an AC/DC external
power adapter (OTC P/N 3421-04) or the internal
rechargeable battery pack (OTC P/N 239180).
