of the probe head while it is connected with a high-voltage source.
7.3.3.2 Connection
For different applications, the connection methods may vary.
1. Power the Scopebox on: Power is provided to the Scopebox in
either of the following ways:
• Power adapter
: Insert one end of the power adapter into the
Power interface of the Scopebox, and the other end to the AC
outlet.
• Battery clamps cable
: Plug one end of the power adapter into
the Power interface of the Scopebox, and then clamp the other
two terminals to the vehicle's battery (Red to +, and Black to -)
respectively.
2. Connect the B-shaped terminal of the data cable to the Scopebox
Data I/O port, and the other end to the Data I/O port of the
diagnostic tool.
