Cautions in use

Safety Instruction Cautions in Use Carman Wi described in this manual was manufactured for those who have the basic knowledge required for its use. Users should follow the safety instructions for safe and efficient use of the product. The cautions of use are as follows: Do not drop or apply impact on it. Never use the product without the rubber boot in place. (Especially be

careful with the wireless LAN CF card on top of the module.) Do not put the product on a distributor. Even though Carman Wi is manufactured to internally prevent the

interference from the electromagnetic waves, the strong interference by excessive electromagnetic waves may damage the product.

The strong surge or electric shock applied to the power cable may

damage the power supply unit of the product. So, do not use the product while the power supply is unstable.

The voltage rating of the AC/DC adapter is 12V DC. Be sure to use an AC/DC adaptor with the rated voltage. Never disassemble, repair or modify this product.

The wireless communication can be disconnected due to environment conditions.

Status sign LED

☞ Displays the status of Carman Wi. 1. POWER : Displays power on or off. 2. COM : Displays communication status.

[Right side view]

1. RS-232 : It is for repair and should not be used by users. 2. USB : It supports USB 2.0 standard and connects PC. 3. POWER : It powers up by an AC/DC adapter.

- The unit powers up by the communication with OBD-II standard vehicle without an AC/DC adapter.

II. Power Supply Carman Wi can be supplied with power in four ways as follows:

1. CIGAR LIGHTER CABLE The cigar lighter cable can supply power to the product. However, when the vehicle ignition switch is off or upon starting a vehicle, power is not supplied to the cigar lighter socket.

2. VEHICLE BATTERY Connect the red clip of the battery connection cable to the (+) battery terminal, and black clip to the (-) terminal. Connect the cigar lighter cable between the battery connection cable and the product. In this case, power is supplied anytime regardless of the ignition switch status or vehicle starting.

Be careful when connecting the cable, as incorrect polarity may damage the mainframe.

3. DLC MAIN CABLE Where the vehicle satisfies the OBD-II communication convention and uses a diagnostic connector, the DLC main cable can supply power to the product directly without a separate power supply.

4. AC/DC ADAPTOR Power can be supplied through a AC/DC adapter. Make sure to use only the genuine adapter supplied by Nextek.
