Qualifications
This instruction manual will help you understand how to use the Scan
Tool. It assumes you are familiar with the operation of the OBDII
system found on cars sold in North America since 1996. We strongly
recommend you seek additional training to learn how to troubleshoot
OBDII vehicles.
The section of the manual that tells how to update software requires
the user to have a working knowledge of Windows 95 or Windows 98.
If you do not know how to access your hard drive, locate a directory, or
how to connect a device to the serial port on your PC, please refer to
the owners manuals that came with your PC.
