VIN Scanning
For scanning VINs, the DCA-8000 Diagnostic Charger uses a handheld scanner connected to the
back of charger using a DB-9 style connector. Once successfully scanned, the VIN is cross referenced
with the original equipment manufacturer's battery specications stored in the charger’s database
and displayed on the screen.
Scanning Tips
• Hold Steady: Hold the device steady when scanning the VIN barcode. This allows the user to
clearly see the barcode and allows the camera to focus on it.
• Scan Entire Barcode: Position the scanner in and out until it covers the entire barcode.
• Clean Barcode/Window: Surface dirt can interfere with the scanning process. If necessary
wipe the VIN barcode with a cloth or your nger remove any surface dirt.
• Lighting/Glare: The built-in ashlight will automatically turn on In low light situations. If the
ashlight, or sunlight, is shining directly onto the VIN barcode, try pivoting the camera up or
down slightly to reduce any glare.
