Provide Power to Scan Tool
Before using the scan tool, you must provide power
to the scan tool. There are three methods for provid-
ing 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 connec-
tion. (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).
