4 Diagnostics
By establishing a data link to the electronic control systems of the vehicle being serviced
through the VCI device, the Diagnostics application allows you to retrieve diagnostic
information, view live data parameters, and perform active tests. The Diagnostics
application can access the electronic control module (ECM) for various vehicle control
systems, such as engine, transmission, antilock brake system (ABS), airbag system(SRS) and more.

Establishing Vehicle Communication
The Diagnostics operations require connecting the MaxiSys Diagnostic Platform to thevehicle through the VCI device and test adapters (for non-OBDII vehicles). To establish
proper vehicle communication to the tablet, you need to perform the following steps:
1.

Connect the VCI device to the vehicle’s DLC for both communication and powersource.

2.

Connect the VCI device to the tablet via Bluetooth pairing or USB connection.

3.

When these are done, check the VCI navigation button at the bottom bar on thescreen, if the button displays a green badge, the MaxiSys Mini diagnostic platform
is ready to start vehicle diagnosis.

Vehicle Connection
The method used to connect the VCI device to a vehicle’s DLC depends on the vehicle’s
configuration as follows:

A vehicle equipped with an On-board Diagnostics Two (OBDII) management
system supplies both communication and 12-volt power through a standardized J1962 DLC.



A vehicle not equipped with an OBDII management system supplies communication
through a DLC connection, and in some cases supplies 12-volt power through thecigarette lighter receptacle or a connection to the vehicle battery.

OBDII Vehicle Connection
This type of connection only requires the VCI device without any additional adapter.
To connect to an OBDII vehicle: Insert the Vehicle Data Connector on the MaxiVCI V200
into the vehicle’s DLC, which is generally located under the vehicle dash.

17

NOTE
If the vehicle’s DLC is not located under the dash, refer to the user manual of the vehicle
for additional connection information.

Non-OBDII Vehicle Connection
This type of connection requires both the VCI device and a required OBDI adapter forthe specific vehicle being serviced.


To connect to a Non-OBDII Vehicle
Locate the required OBDI adapter and connect its 16-pin jack to the Vehicle
Data Connector on the MaxiVCI V200.
Connect the attached OBDI adapter to the vehicle’s DLC.

NOTE
Some adapters may have more than one adapter or may have test leads instead ofan adapter. Whatever the case, make the proper connection to the vehicle’s DLC
as required.



The tablet can be powered from the cigarette lighter adapter when necessary.



To connect the cigarette lighter adapter
Plug the DC power connector of the cigarette lighter adapter into the DC power
supply input port on the tablet.
Connect the male connector of the cigarette lighter adapter into the vehicle’s
cigarette lighter receptacle.

VCI Connection
After the MaxiVCI V200 is properly connected to the vehicle, and the Power LED on the
VCI device illuminates solid green or blue, which indicates that the MaxiVCI V200 isready to establish communication with the tablet.
The Wireless Diagnostic Interface MaxiVCI V200 supports 2 communication methods
with the tablet, Bluetooth and USB.

Pairing Up via BluetoothBluetooth pairing is recommended as the first choice for the communication between thetablet and the VCI device. The working range for Bluetooth communication is about 164
feet (about 50 m); this means you can perform vehicle diagnosis freely around theworkshop with greater convenience.
If you use more than one VCI device to connect to the vehicles, you can perform vehicle
diagnosis on various vehicles conveniently, by pairing the tablet separately to each of the
VCI devices connected to the different vehicles, via Bluetooth, without the need to repeat18the plugging and unplugging procedure, which is unavoidable through traditional wired
connection, thus saves you more time and provides more efficiency.
To pair up the tablet with the MaxiVCI V200 via Bluetooth
If not already done, power up the tablet.
Select the VCI Manager application from the MaxiSys Job Menu.
When the VCI Manager application is opened, the tablet automatically starts
scanning for available VCI devices around for Bluetooth pairing. The found
VCI devices are listed on the right side of the screen.

NOTE
If no VCI device is found, this may indicate that the signal strength of the transmitter is
too weak to be detected. In this case, try to get closer to the device, or reposition the VCI
device, and remove all possible objects that cause signal interference. When these aredone, tap the Scan button at the top right corner to start searching again.
The device name appeared on the tablet may display as Maxi suffixed with aserial number. Select the required device for pairing.
When paring is successfully done, the connection status displayed to theright of the device name is shown as Connected.
Wait for a few seconds, and the VCI button on the system Navigation Bar at
the bottom of the screen shall display a green badge, and the Connection
LED on the MaxiVCI V200 illuminates solid blue, indicating the tablet isconnected to the VCI device, and is ready to perform vehicle diagnosis.

USB Cable Connection
The USB cable connection is a simple and quick way to establish communication
between the tablet and the MaxiVCI V200. After properly connecting the USB cable fromthe tablet to the VCI device, the VCI navigation button at the bottom bar of the screen
shows a green badge in a few seconds, and the Connection LED on the MaxiVCI V200
illuminates solid green, indicating the connection between the devices is successful. The
MaxiSys diagnostic platform is now ready to perform vehicle diagnosis.
NOTE
When both the communication methods are applied at the same time, the MaxiSys
system will use the USB communication as the default priority.

No Communication Message
If the tablet is not connected to the VCI device correctly, an “Error” message may display.
This indicates that the tablet cannot access to the vehicle control module. In this case,you need to do the following check-ups:
Check if the VCI device is powered up.
19

In case of wireless connection, check if the network is configured correctly, or if theright VCI device has been paired.



If during the diagnosis process, the communication is suddenly interrupted due tothe loss of signal, check if there is any object that causes signal interruption.



Check if the VCI device is properly positioned.



Try standing closer to the VCI device to obtain more stable signals, and fastercommunication speed.

In case of wired connection, check the cable connection between the tablet and the
VCI device.

Check if the Connection LED on the VCI device is illuminated for Bluetooth or USB.

Check if the Power LED on the VCI device is flashing red, this may indicate there
is a hardware problem with the VCI device, in this case contact for the technicalsupport.

If the VCI device is unable to establish a communication link, a prompt message displayswith check instructions. The following conditions are the possible causes:
The VCI device is unable to establish a communication link with the vehicle.

Function Descriptions
This section describes the main functions for vehicle service:

Oil Reset Service
This function allows you to perform reset for the Engine Oil Life system, which calculates
an optimal oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate.
The Oil Life Reminder must be reset every time the oil is changed, so the system cancalculate when the next oil change is required.

Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Service
This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle’s ECU, as
well as to perform TPMS programming and reset procedures after tire sensors are
replaced.

Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Service
This function has a multitude of usages to maintain the electronic braking system safely
and effectively. The applications include deactivating and activating the brake control
system, assisting with brake fluid control, opening and closing brake pads, and setting
brakes after disc or pad replacement, etc.

ABS/SRS Services
This function allows you to perform various bi-directional tests to check the operating
conditions of both the Anti-lock Braking System and the Supplemental Restraint System,
such as Automated Bleeding, Pump Motor Test, and checking Module information, etc.

Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Service
This service function allows you to perform calibration for the Steering Angle Sensor,
which permanently stores the current steering wheel position as the straight-ahead
position in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. On successful completion of thecalibration, the steering angle sensor fault memory is automatically cleared.

DPF Regeneration Service
The Diesel Particulate Filter service function performs the regeneration procedure whichis the DPF cleaning operation to clear the blockage through continuous burning of theparticulate matter captured in the DPF filter. If the DPF light on the vehicle comes on andyou successfully complete a DPF regeneration cycle, you will notice that the DPF lightwill automatically turn off.

Generic OBDII Operations
A fast-access option for OBDII/EOBD vehicle diagnosis is available on the Vehicle Menu
screen (see Figure 4-1 Vehicle Menu Screen). This option presents a quick way to checkfor DTCs, isolate the cause of an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), check44

monitor status prior to emissions certification testing, and perform a number of otherservices that are emissions-related. The OBD direct access option is also used for testing
OBDII/EOBD compliant vehicles that are not included in the database.
Functions of the diagnostics toolbar buttons at the top of the screen are the same as
those available for specific vehicle diagnostics. See Figure 4-2 Sample Vehicle

Function Descriptions
This section describes the various functions of each diagnostic option:

DTC & FFD
When this function is selected, the screen displays a list of Stored Codes and Pending
Codes. When the Freeze Frame data of certain DTCs are available for viewing, asnowflake button will display on the right side of the DTC item. The Erase Codes function
can be applied by tapping the function button at the lower bottom of the screen.
Stored Codes

Stored codes are the current emission related DTCs from the ECM of the vehicle. OBDII/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission severity, with higher priority
codes overwriting lower priority codes. The priority of the code determines theillumination of the MIL and the codes erase procedure. Manufacturers rank codes
differently, so expect to see differences between makes.


Pending Codes

These are codes whose setting conditions were met during the last drive cycle, but need
to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before the DTC actually sets. The
intended use of this service is to assist the service technician after a vehicle repair andafter clearing diagnostic information, by reporting test results after a driving cycle.
1)

If a test failed during the driving cycle, the DTC associated with that test is reported.
If the pending fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault
is automatically cleared from memory.

46

2)

Test results reported by this service do not necessarily indicate a faulty component
or system. If test results indicate another failure after additional driving, then a DTC
is set to indicate a faulty component or system, and the MIL is illuminated.

Freeze Frame

In most cases the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. Certain DTCs, which havea greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher priority. In these cases, the top
prioritized DTC is the one for which the freeze frame records are retained. Freeze frame
data includes a “snapshot” of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is set.
Erase Codes

This option is used to clear all emission related diagnostic data such as, DTCs, freeze
frame data and manufacturer specific enhanced data from the vehicle’s ECM, and reset
the I/M Readiness Monitor Status for all vehicle monitors to Not Ready or Not Complete
status.
A confirmation screen displays when the clear codes option is selected to prevent
accidental loss of data. Select Yes on the confirmation screen to continue or No to exit.

I/M ReadinessThis function is used to check the readiness of the monitoring system. It is an excellent
function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to a state emissions
program. Selecting I/M Readiness opens a submenu with two choices:

Since DTCs Cleared — displays the status of monitors since the last time the
DTCs are erased.

This Driving Cycle — displays the status of monitors since the beginning of thecurrent drive cycle.

Live Data
This function displays the real time PID data from ECU. Displayed data includes analog
inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information broadcast
on the vehicle data stream.
Live data can be displayed in various modes, see Live Data for detailed information.

O2 Sensor Monitor
This option allows retrieval and viewing of O2 sensor monitor test results for the mostrecently performed tests from the vehicle’s on-board computer.
The O2 Sensor Monitor test function is not supported by vehicles which communicate
using a controller area network (CAN). For O2 Sensor Monitor tests results of CANequipped vehicles, refer to On-Board Monitor.

47

On-Board Monitor
This option allows you to view the results of On-Board Monitor tests. The tests are usefulafter servicing or after erasing a vehicle’s control module memory.

Component Test
This service enables bi-directional control of the ECM so that the diagnostic tool is able
to transmit control commands to operate the vehicle systems. This function is useful indetermining whether the ECM responds to a command well.

Vehicle Information
The option displays the vehicle identification number (VIN), the calibration identification,and the calibration verification number (CVN), and other information of the vehicle.

Vehicle Status
This item is used to check the current condition of the vehicle, including communication
protocols of OBDII modules, retrieved codes amount, status of the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL), and other additional information.

Exiting Diagnostics
The Diagnostics application remains open as long as there is an active communication
with the vehicle. You must exit the diagnostics operation interface to stop all
communications with the vehicle before closing the Diagnostics application.
NOTE
Damage to the vehicle electronic control module (ECM) may occur if communication is
disrupted. Make sure all connections, such as USB cable and wireless connection, areproperly connected at all times during testing. Exit all tests before disconnecting the test

57

Oil Reset
Perform reset for the Engine Oil Life system, which calculates an optimal oil life changeinterval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate. The Oil Life Reminder
must be reset each time the oil is changed, so the system can calculate when the next
oil change is required.
NOTE
1.

Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change.

2.

All required work must be carried out before the service indicators are reset. Failure
to do so may result in incorrect service values and cause DTCs to be stored by therelevant control module.

3.

For some vehicles, the scan tool can reset additional service lights such as
maintenance cycle and service interval. On BMW vehicles for example, service
resets include engine oil, spark plugs, front/rear brakes, coolant, particle filter, brakefluid, micro filter, vehicle inspection, exhaust emission inspection and vehicle
checks.

Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
This function has a multitude of usages to maintain the electronic braking
system safely and effectively. The applications include deactivating andactivating the brake control system, assisting with brake fluid control, opening
and closing brake pads, and setting brakes after disc or pad replacement.

EPB Safety
It can be dangerous to perform Electric Parking Brake (EPB) system maintenance, so
before you begin the service work, please keep these rules in mind.


Ensure that you are fully familiar with the braking system and its operation before
commencing any work.



The EPB control system may be required to be deactivated before carrying out any
maintenance/diagnostic work on the brake system. This can be done from the tool
menu.



Only perform maintenance work when the vehicle is stationary and on level ground.

Ensure that the EPB control system is reactivated after the maintenance work has
been completed.

NOTE
Autel accepts no responsibility for any accident or injury arising from the maintenance of
the Electric Parking Brake system.
58

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle's ECU, as
well as to perform TPMS replacement and reset procedures after tire sensors are
replaced.

Battery Management System (BMS)The Battery Management System (BMS) allows the tool to evaluate the battery charge
state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement, activate the rest
state of the vehicle, and charge the battery via the diagnostic socket.
NOTE
This function is not supported by all vehicles.

The sub functions and actual test screens of the BMS may vary by vehicle, please
follow the on-screen instructions to make correct option selection.

The vehicle may use either a sealed lead-acid battery or an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)battery. Lead acid battery contains liquid sulphuric acid and can spill when overturned.
AGM battery (known as VRLA battery, valve regulated lead acid) also contains sulphuric
acid, but the acid is contained in glass mats between terminal plates.
It is recommended that the replacement aftermarket battery has the same specifications,such as capacity and type, as the exiting battery. If the original battery is replaced with adifferent type of battery (e.g. a lead-acid battery is replaced with an AGM battery) or abattery with a different capacity (mAh), the vehicle may require reprogramming of the
new battery type, in addition to, performing the battery reset. Consult the vehicle manual
for additional vehicle-specific information.

Immobilizer (IMMO) Keys
An immobilizer is an anti-theft mechanism that prevents an automobile's engine fromstarting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present. This device prevents
thieves from starting the car by a method known as hot wiring. Most new vehicles havean immobilizer as standard equipment. An important advantage of this system is that it
doesn't require the car owner to activate it; it operates automatically. An immobilizer isconsidered as providing much more effective anti-theft protection than an audible alarm
alone; many auto insurance companies offer lower rates for vehicles that are equippedwith an immobilizer.
As an anti-theft device, an immobilizer disables one of the systems needed to start a
car's engine, usually the fuel supply or the ignition. This is accomplished by radio
frequency identification between a transponder in the ignition key and a device called aradio frequency reader in the steering column. When the key is placed in the ignition, the59transponder sends a signal with a unique identification code to the reader, which relays
it to a receiver in the vehicle's computer control module. If the code is correct, thecomputer allows the fuel supply and ignition systems to operate and start the car. If thecode is incorrect or absent, the computer disables the system, and the car will be unable
to start until the correct key is placed in the ignition.
The IMMO Keys service can disable a lost vehicle key and program the replacement key
fob. One or more replacement key fobs can be programmed.

Steering Angle Sensor (SAS)The SAS Calibration permanently stores the current steering wheel position as thestraight-ahead position in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. Therefore, the front
wheels and the steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead position before
calibration. In addition, the vehicle identification number (VIN) is also read from the
instrument cluster and stored permanently in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. On
successful completion of calibration, the steering angle sensor fault memory is
automatically cleared.
Calibration must always be carried out after the following operations:

Steering wheel replacement

Steering angle sensor replacement

Any maintenance that involves opening the connector hub from the steering angle
sensor to the column

Any maintenance or repair work on the steering linkage, steering gear or otherrelated mechanismWheel alignment or wheel track adjustment

Accident repairs where damage to the steering angle sensor or assembly, or any
part of the steering system may have occurred

NOTE
1.

Autel accepts no responsibility for any accident or injury arising from servicing the
SAS system. When interpreting DTCs retrieved from the vehicle, always follow the
manufacturer's recommendation for repair.

2.

All software screens shown in this manual are examples, actual test screens mayvary by the vehicle. Pay attention to the menu titles and onscreen instructions tomake correct option selections.

3.

Before starting procedure, make sure vehicle has an ESC button. Look for button
on dash.

Safety Information
Follow these instructions to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock and prevent
equipment damage.
A.

Maximum input ranges

Observe all terminal ratings and warnings marked on the product.
DANGER

To prevent electric shock, operate within the safe input range for the scope.



To prevent electric shock, take all necessary safety precautions when working on
equipment where voltages above the specified input range may be present. Contact
with voltages outside of the specified measuring range presents a risk of electric
shock.

To prevent injury or death, the oscilloscope must not be directly connected to themains (line power). To measure mains voltages, use a differential isolating probe
specifically rated for mains use.

WARNING
Operation outside of the safe input range is likely to cause permanent damage to theoscilloscope and other connected equipment.
B.

Grounding

DANGER

The scope’s ground connection through the USB cable is for measurement
purposes only. The oscilloscope does not have a protective safety ground.



Do not connect the ground input (chassis) to any electrical power source. To prevent
personal injury or death, use a voltmeter to check that there is no significant AC or
DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to which you intend toconnect it.

96

WARNING

Applying a voltage to the ground input is likely to cause permanent damage to theoscilloscope, the attached computer, and other equipment.



To prevent measurement errors caused by poor grounding, always use the highquality USB cable supplied with the oscilloscope.

C.

External connections

DANGER
To prevent injury or death, use only the power cord and adaptor supplied with the product.
D.

Environment

DANGER
To prevent injury or death, do not use in wet or damp conditions, or around explosivegas or vapor.
WARNINGTo prevent damage, always use and store your oscilloscope in appropriate environments.
For detailed information on temperature and humidity specifications for both the storage
and usage of the oscilloscope, see Safety Information.
E.

Product Maintenance

The product contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair, servicing and calibration require
specialized test equipment and must only be performed by Autel Tech Support or an
approved service provider.
DANGER
To prevent injury or death, do not use the product if it appears to be damaged in any way,
and stop use immediately if you are concerned by any abnormal operations.
WARNING

Do not tamper with or disassemble the oscilloscope, connectors or accessories.
Internal damage will affect performance.



Do not block any of the instrument’s air vents, as overheating will cause damage tothe oscilloscope.

When cleaning the oscilloscope, use wet soft cloth with mild detergent in water. Do
not allow water to enter the oscilloscope casing, as this will cause damage to theelectronics inside.

97

Glossary

AC/DC Control

Each channel can be set to either AC coupling or DC coupling. With DC coupling, thevoltage displayed on-screen is equal to the true voltage of the signal with respect toground. With AC coupling, any DC component of the signal is filtered out, leaving only
the variations in the signal for the AC component.


Aliasing

When the signal frequency gets higher than half the scope’s maximum sampling rate andexceeds the limit, a distorted waveform appears. This distortion is called aliasing.
Analog Bandwidth

All oscilloscopes have an upper limit to the range of frequencies at which they canmeasure accurately. The analog bandwidth of an oscilloscope is defined as the frequency
at which a displayed sine wave has half the power of the input sine wave (about 71% of
the amplitude).


Block Mode

A sampling mode in which the computer prompts the oscilloscope to collect a block ofdata into its internal memory before stopping the oscilloscope and transferring the whole
block into computer memory. This mode of operation is effective when the input signal
being sampled is high frequency.
Buffer Size/Cache Size

This term indicates the size of the oscilloscope’s buffer memory. The buffer memory isused by the oscilloscope to temporarily store data. This helps to compensate for thedifferences in data transfer rate from one device to another.


Sampling Rate

This term is used to define the number of samples per second captured by theoscilloscope. The faster the sampling rate of the scope, the more frequently it measures
the signal voltage, and so the more detailed will be the trace that appears on the scope
screen.
Streaming Mode

This term indicates a sampling mode in which the oscilloscope samples data and returns
it to the computer in an unbroken stream. This mode of operation is effective when the
input signal being sampled is at low frequency.
Time Base

The time base controls the time interval across the scope display.
98Voltage Range

The voltage range is the range between the maximum and minimum voltages that canbe accurately captured by the oscilloscope.


Sinusoidal Waveform

This term describes the waveform characteristics typically found in circuits with large
inductance and capacitance, and often referred to as an AC signal. The waveform
alternates either side of 0 volts or may rise and fall creating a regular sinusoidal shape:

Figure 18-1 Sinusoidal Waveform

Amplitude

This term indicates the maximum voltage generated from the zero volts line of theoscilloscope.
Frequency

This term describes the number of signal occurrences per second. Frequency ismeasured in Hz (hertz).
Square Waveform

This term describes the waveform characteristics normally generated by signals
switching between clearly defined voltage levels, such as a Hal effect sensor signal may
create by switching a voltage to ground. A typical digital square waveform is shown below:

99

Figure 18-2 Square Waveform

Peak to peak voltage

This term indicates the difference in voltage between the minimum and maximum
voltages occurring in the waveform.

MaxiScope Module
The MaxiScope Automotive Oscilloscope tool kit is optional and available for purchasealong with the MaxiSys package. There are 2 versions (basic and advanced versions)available.
The MaxiScope tool kit comes standard with:

Math Channel

A math channel is a virtual channel generated by mathematical function of the input
channel. It can be displayed in a scope in the same way as an input signal, and like an
input signal, it has its own measure axis, scaling, and color. The MaxiScope module has
a set of built-in math channels for the most important functions, including “A+B” (the sumof channels A and B) and “A-B” (the difference between channels A and B).


To use a math channel

Measurement Grid
The 2 control features — Voltage per division and Time per division — enable the users
to adjust the scope settings to suit the particular test measurement.

Figure 18-7 Measurement GridVoltage per division — shown down the left side of the screen, referred to as the
Y-axisTime per division — shown along the bottom of the screen, referred to as the Xaxis

Multiple Scope Channels
The MaxiScope software features multiple channel display which enables more than one
waveform to be displayed at the same time. It is useful for making comparisons among
different signals. The voltage per division for each channel is adjusted individually while
the time base per division is the same for all channels.
To adjust the voltage scale
Tap the specific Y-axis of the corresponding channel to enable scale
adjustment. The selected Y-axis is highlighted with thicker dividing line.
Adjust the voltage scale of the selected channel with the typical two-finger
zoom gestures.
The 0 volts is hinted with a pointer reference line. Slide the pointer line up anddown to move and view different areas of the scale.

Trigger On/Off — taps to turn on/off the trigger. The button displays as Trigger Off
when it is activated, and vice versa.

Once the trigger is activated, a voltage scale reference line and a time base reference line
108

will be displayed on the measurement grid. The cross point of the 2 lines indicates thetrigger point, allowing users to adjust its position by moving each of the 2 lines.


Trigger Source — assigns the trigger to a specific channel

Trigger Slope — sets trigger to occur by rising or falling voltage edges



Trigger Mode — configures the trigger mode:
A.

Normal Mode — configures the trigger to occur every time when the captured
signal waveform reaches the trigger point, so the scope starts to draw the
waveform when the signal reaches the trigger point.

B.

Auto Mode — configures the trigger to occur every time when the scope captures
the signal waveforms by the preset trigger point. The scope continues to draw the
waveforms even when the signal is not in the trigger point range.

Main Time Base — allows users to select an appropriate time per division. The
time per division (10 divisions) is displayed along the bottom of the screen. The timebase adjustment affects all of the active scope channels at once.

Measure — allows users to select various types of measurement parameters to be
displayed at the right side of the screen for reference.

A maximum of 5 items are allowed to be selected each time.

About Battery UsageYour tablet is powered by a built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery. This means that, unlike
other forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery while some charge
remains without reducing your tablet’s autonomy due to the “battery memory effect”
inherent in those technologies.
DANGER
The built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery is factory replaceable only; incorrect replacement
or tampering with the battery pack may cause an explosion.

113



Do not use a damaged battery charger.

Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.

Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery,
expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

Make sure to use the charger and USB cables only that come together in the
package. If you use the other charger and USB cables, you might incur malfunction
or failure of the device.

Only use the charging device that has been qualified with device per the standard.
Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage, or other hazard.

Avoid dropping the tablet. If the tablet is dropped, especially on a hard surface, andthe user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.



The closer you are to your network’s base station, the longer your tablet usage time
because less battery power is consumed for the connection.

The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery capacity.

Battery life inevitably shortens over time.



Since over charging may shorten battery life, remove the tablet from its charger
once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger, once charging is complete.

Leaving the tablet in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or winter,may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always keep the battery within
normal temperatures.
