Safety Precautions Before using MAXGo, please read the following safety information carefully. • Never collide, throw, or punch MAXGo, and avoid falling, extruding and blending it. • Do not use MAXGo in exceptionally cold or hot, dusty, damp or dry environments. • In places where MAXGo is forbidden or using MAXGo may cause interference or generate a potential risk, please turn it off. • To ensure a safe driving, please do not use MAXGo while driving. • Turn off MAXGo before boarding any airplane. • Do not dismantle MAXGo by yourself. If there is any inquiry, please contact the dealer. • Never place MAXGo into apparatus with strong electromagnetic field. • Keep MAXGo far away from magnetic devices because its radiations may erase the data stored on MAXGo. • Store MAXGo out of reach of children and do not allow children to use it unsupervised. • Please use the included battery and charger. Otherwise, explosion may happen. • Do not disconnect power abruptly when MAXGo is being formatted or in process of uploading or downloading. Or else it may result in program error. MAXGo User's Manual Precautions on Using MAXGo • The ignition switch should be OFF while plugging or unplugging the DBScar diagnostic connector. • When DBScar connector is not used, remember to place it into the diagnostic connector housing located at the back of the protection sleeve to avoid loss. • If your vehicle keeps unattended for a week or a long period, it is suggested to unplug the connector from vehicle’s DLC to save battery power. • While diagnosing a vehicle, you are not advised to use phone or messaging, because it may cause a data communication interruption. If it happens, it is abnormal and just try to re-do it. Precautions on Operating Vehicle’s ECU • Do not disconnect the vehicle inner consumer when the ignition switch is on. High voltage transients may encounter at the moment of disconnecting, which may damage the sensors and the ECU. • Protect the computer from magnetic object. • Do cut off the power supply of ECU system before welding on the vehicle. • Pay more attention to the ECU and the sensors when the operation is next to them. • Ground yourself when you disassemble PROM, otherwise ECU and sensors will be damaged by static electricity. • Do connect ECU harness connector firmly, otherwise electronic elements, such as IC inside ECU, will be damaged.

Select testing connectors If MAXGo is testing vehicles equipped with universal OBD II 16 PIN diagnostic socket, please use the included diagnostic connector. (For vehicles with non-OBD II 16 PIN diagnostic socket, a non-16 PIN connector is required.) 5.1.2 DLC Location The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the 10 MAXGo User's Manual location. 3. Choose one of the two ways to obtain power from: A. Power adaptor: connect one end of the included power adaptor to Power interface of MAXIMUS2.0 display tablet, and the other end to AC outlet. B. Internal battery pack: For details on how to recharge MAXIMUS2.0, see “Chapter 3.1 Charging MAXIMUS2.0”. For non-OBDII vehicle, proceed as follows: Near the center of dashboard Fig. 5-1 5.1.3 Vehicle Connection The method used to connect the diagnostic connector to a vehicle’s DLC depends on the vehicle’s configuration as follows: 1. Locate vehicle’s DLC socket. 2. Select the corresponding non-16pin connector. 3. Plug the non-16pin end of the connector into the DLC socket, then connect the other end to the OBD I adaptor, and then tighten the captive screws. 4. Connect the other end of the adaptor to the included diagnostic connector. 5. To supply power to OBD I adaptor from: A. Cigaretter Lighter: Connect one end of the cigarette lighter cable to vehicle’s cigaratte lighter receptacle, and the other end to the power jack of OBDI adaptor. • A vehicle equipped with an OBD II management system supplies both communication and 12V power through a standardized DLC. • A vehicle not equipped with an OBD II management system supplies communication through a DLC connection, and in some cases supplies 12V power through the cigarette lighter receptacle or a connection to the vehicle battery. Follow the steps mentioned below to connect OBD II vehicle: 1. Locate vehicle’s DLC socket. 2. Plug the diagnostic connector into the vehicle’s DLC socket (It is suggested to use the OBD II extension cable to connect the diagnostic connector and DLC socket.). Fig. 5-2 11 MAXGo User's Manual B. Clipper Cable: Connect one end of the clipper cable to vehicle’s battery, and the other end to the power jack of OBDI adaptor.
