Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark
plugs. These components create hazardous voltage when the engine is running.
To avoid damaging the tool or generating false data, please make sure the vehicle battery is fully
charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC (Data Link Connector) is clear and secure.
Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid that is harmful to skin. In operation, direct contact with the
automotive batteries should be avoided. Keep the ignition sources away from the battery at all times.
Keep the tool dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clear
the outside of the equipment when necessary.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.
Store the tool and accessories in a locked area out of the reach of children.
Do not use the tool while standing in water.
Do not expose the tool or power adapter to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the tool or power
adaptor increases the risk of electric shock.
This tool is a sealed unit. There are no end-user serviceable parts inside. All internal repairs must be
done by an authorized repair facility or qualified technician. If there is any inquiry, please contact the
dealer.
Keep the tool far away from magnetic devices because its radiations can damage the screen and
erase the data stored on the tool.
Do not attempt to replace the internal rechargeable lithium battery. Contact the dealer for factory
replacement.
Do not disconnect battery or any wiring cables in the vehicle when the ignition switch is on, as this
could avoid damage to the sensors or the ECU.
Do not place any magnetic objects near the ECU. Disconnect the power supply to the ECU before
performing any welding operations on the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when performing any operations near the ECU or sensors. Ground yourself
when you disassemble PROM, otherwise ECU and sensors can be damaged by static electricity.
When reconnecting the ECU harness connector, be sure it is attached firmly, otherwise electronic
elements, such as ICs inside the ECU, can be damaged.
Because there are various procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing vehicles, as well as
the skill of the person doing the service work, the technician must be well knowledgeable of the
vehicle and the system being tested.
The vehicle parts and the X-PROG 3 components are welded at a constant temperature.
When welding vehicle parts with the X-PROG 3 components, the unit is powered off and is grounded.
