After connecting the device to the vehicle's OBDII port, select 'OBD' from the main menu to access diagnostic functions.

• Read DTC: Reads current, pending, and permanent Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
• Clear DTC: Clears DTCs and turns off the Check Engine Light (MIL). Ensure the underlying issue is resolved before clearing codes.
• I/M Status: Checks the readiness of the emission-related monitoring systems. Useful for pre-smog checks.
• Live Data: Displays real-time data stream from the vehicle's sensors. You can select custom data for comparison and analysis.
• View Freeze Frame: Captures a snapshot of vehicle operating conditions at the time a fault code was set.
• O2 Sensor Test: Retrieves O2 sensor monitor test results.
• Mode 6/8 Test: Accesses advanced test results for specific monitored components/systems.
• Data Stream Logging: Records live data for later review.
• DTC Lookup: Allows you to manually search for fault code definitions.
• OBD PIN Voltage Test: Displays voltage readings for each pin of the OBDII connector, aiding in diagnosing communication issues.

5.2 Battery Diagnostics

Connect the device using the battery terminal clamps. Select 'Battery' from the main menu to perform battery tests.

• Standard Test: Evaluates the overall health of the battery.
• Startup Test: Detects the current starting performance of the battery.
• Charging Test: Diagnoses the vehicle's charging system.
• Voltage Waveform Monitoring: Monitors battery voltage fluctuations over time.
• Load Test: Records voltage fluctuations during vehicle load changes to assess battery health.
• Motorcycle Test: Specific test mode for motorcycle batteries.

The device supports various battery types (Normal, AGM Flat, AGM Spiral, GEL, EFB) and global testing standards (CCA, JIS, GB, SAE, MCA, CA, DIN, IEC, EN, BCI).

5.3 Cloud Printing

To use the Cloud Printing function:

1. Perform a diagnostic test.
2. Navigate to 'Cloud Print' from the main menu.

6.2 Cleaning

Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on: Ensure the OBDII connector is securely plugged into the vehicle's DLC, or that the battery clamps are correctly connected to the battery terminals. Check vehicle battery voltage.
• Communication error: Verify the vehicle is OBDII compliant (most vehicles from 1996 onwards in the US, 2003 in EU, 2008 in Asia). Check the OBD PIN Voltage Test function to ensure proper voltage on the communication pins. Ensure the ignition is on.
• Cannot clear DTCs: Some fault codes cannot be cleared until the underlying issue is resolved. If the code persists after clearing, diagnose and repair the fault first.
• Inaccurate battery test results: Ensure battery terminals are clean and connections are secure. The battery should be sufficiently charged for accurate testing.

8. Specifications

8.1 Model Comparison

The JF700 Ultra offers enhanced features compared to other models in the series:

9. User Tips

• Always ensure your vehicle's ignition is in the 'ON' position (engine off or running, depending on the test) when performing OBDII diagnostics.
• For battery tests, ensure the battery is not actively being charged or discharged by other accessories for the most accurate results.
• When clearing DTCs, remember that this only turns off the warning light. The underlying problem must be fixed to prevent the code from reappearing.
• Keep the device's software updated to ensure compatibility with the latest vehicle models and diagnostic protocols.
