OPERATION INTRODUCTION
Product has 5 major modules, including Diagnostics, OBD II, Upgrade, Feedback and Settings.
1. Diagnostics Product supports Smart Diagnosis and Manual Diagnosis covering full system diagnosis. A diagnostic report will be automatically generated after the diagnosis. 1.1 Smart Diagnosis (Auto-Detect) Power on the Product. Tap "Settings", and make sure the "Automatic detection on connect" is on. *Note: Alternatively, the user can also tap "Diagnostics" -> "AutoDetect" to start the smart diagnosis manually if the "Automatic detection on connect" is Off. Connect to the DLC's port, and then turn the ignition key on. The Product will enter the Smart Diagnosis mode automatically. *Note: If the automatic detection can not identify the vehicle, please try to connect to the network. Not all cars support the AutoDetect function due to auto manufacturers' settings. 1.1.1 Once the system successfully obtains the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), it will continue scanning the vehicle systems. A diagnostic report will be automatically generated after the scanning is completed. 1.1.2 If the tablet fails to access the VIN information, the screen will display as follows:
9

Input the VIN and tap "OK"; the system will automatically identify the vehicle model. If the VIN is successfully decoded, it will perform Smart Diagnosis until a diagnostic report is automatically generated. Otherwise it will enter the Manual Diagnosis mode.
*Note: · A highly stable and solid network connection is recommended for
successful VIN access. · VIN characters may be capital letters A through Z and numbers 0
through 9; however, the letters I, O and Q would never be used in order to avoid misreading. No signs or spaces are allowed in the VIN.
1.2 Manual Diagnosis If the tablet cannot obtain or analyze the VIN information, you can also perform Manual Diagnosis. In this mode, you need to execute the menu-driven command and follow the on-screen instruction to proceed. Refer to the flowchart illustrated below to run the manual system diagnostics.
