REPLACING A FUSE

If the scanner does not operate, you might need to replace the red power
wire's fuse.

NOTE:  Also check your vehicle's fuses.

Use the following steps to check/change a fuse.

WARNING:  Before you begin, turn off the scanner and your vehicle's
          ignition.

1.  Disconnect the red power wire.

2.  Push and twist the fuse holder so that it springs apart.

3.  If the fuse is blown, replace it.  Use only standard 30 mm, 1-amp
    fuses.

4.  Reassemble the fuse holder by pushing and twisting the two parts until
    they snap together.

5.  Reconnect the red power wire to the ACC terminal.
