3.1 Turning On/Off and Emergency
Shutdown
The following sections describe how to turn the diagnostic tool on and off and how
to perform an emergency shutdown.
3.1.1 Turning On
To manually turn on the diagnostic tool, press and release the Power button
(Figure 3-1).
The diagnostic tool will automatically turn on when:
• a live AC power supply is connected to the diagnostic tool
• the Data Cable is connected to a motorcycle (that has 12VDC at the motorcycle
diagnostic connector)
3.1.2 Turning Off
All vehicle communication must be stopped BEFORE turning off the
diagnostic tool. A warning message displays if you attempt to turn the
diagnostic tool off while communicating with the vehicle. Forcing a shut
down while communicating may lead to control module problems on
some models. Never disconnect the Data Cable when the diagnostic tool
is communicating with the vehicle.
z To turn off the diagnostic tool:
1. Press the N/Cancel button or select the Back or Home icon to navigate to the
Home screen.
If applicable, a “stopping communication” message appears briefly before the
Home screen displays.
2. If applicable, disconnect the Data Cable from the motorcycle.
3. Press and release the Power button.
A confirmation screen displays.
4. Press the Y/Accept button or select OK from the menu to turn the diagnostic
tool off. To continue operating, press the N/Cancel button or select Cancel
from the menu.
3.1.3 Emergency Shutdown
Using the emergency shutdown procedure while communicating may
lead to control module problems on some models.
During normal operation turn the diagnostic tool off using the Turning Off procedure
above. The emergency shutdown procedure should only be used If the diagnostic
tool does not respond to navigation or control buttons or exhibits erratic operation.
To force an emergency shutdown, press and hold the Power button for five
seconds until the diagnostic tool turns off.
