It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate protection in the forms of firewalls, antivirus software, and anti-spyware software and keep such software up to date. Precautions on Using V1M Before using this test equipment, please read the following safety information carefully. y Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment. ii LAUNCH English User Manual y If the VCI connector remains unused for a long period of time, it is suggested to unplug the connector from vehicle’s DLC to conserve battery power. y Wear an ANSI-approved eye shield when testing or repairing vehicles. y The vehicle shall be tested in a well ventilated work area, as engines produce various poisonous compounds (hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.) y Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running. y Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while testing. y Keep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clear the outside of the equipment as necessary. y Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time. Any distraction may cause an accident. y Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts. y Before starting the engine, put the gear lever in the Neutral position (for manual transmission) or in the Park (for automatic transmission) position to avoid injury. y To avoid damaging the test equipment 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. y 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. Precautions on Operating Vehicle’s ECU y 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. y Do not place any magnetic objects near the ECU. Disconnect the power supply to the ECU before performing any welding operations on the vehicle. y 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. y When reconnecting the ECU harness connector, be sure it is attached firmly, otherwise
