3 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR INSTALLING TMD MK5 FPT
The technology used for the design and manufacturing control of the TMD MK5 FPT makes it a
reliable, simple and safe device to install and use.
The personnel in charge of installing the remote diagnostic tools are required to follow the general
safety rules, to use TMD MK5 FPT devices for their intended use only and to carry out the
maintenance as described in this manual.
All the requirements based on the following must be assessed and applied:
•Labour inspectorate.
•Trade associations.
•Vehicle manufacturers.
•Anti-pollution regulations.
3.1 Glossary
Operator: a qualified person responsible for installing the remote diagnostic device.
Device: any TMD MK5 FPT device.
Wiring: specific electric cables needed to connect TMD MK5 FPT to its accessories, to the power
supply, to the antenna.
The definition of "operator" cannot be applied to minors or to people
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without any
experience or knowledge required.

3.2 General Rules
The operator must have carefully read all the information and instructions in the
technical documents provided with the tool.
If the operator is not able to read this manual, the operating instructions and safety
indications must be read and discussed in the operator's native language.
•The operator that works on vehicles must have basic qualifications and knowledge of
mechanics, automotive engineering, car repair and of the potential dangers that may arise
during self-diagnosis operations.
•The operator must be completely clear-headed and sober when installing and using the
device; taking drugs or alcohol before or when installing and operating the device is strictly
forbidden.
•The operator must follow all the instructions provided in the technical documents.
•The operator is required to wear adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) throughout
the installation of the device.
•The operator must periodically check the electrical connections of the device, making sure

3.3 Operator Safety
Carefully evaluate the device's installation position.
An improper installation may cause severe damage and injuries.
Safety Measures:
•Make sure the installation does not compromise the correct functioning of the vehicle's
controls, in particular the brakes and, in general, the safety devices.
The device was manufactured to be electrically safe and
insulated and to work with specific supply voltage levels.
Improper use may expose the operator to the risk of electric
shock, even though of low intensity.
Safety Measures:
•Wear adequate personal protective equipment during all the operating phases.
•Do not handle or touch the device or any accessories (e.g. cables) with wet hands.
•If liquid should penetrate inside the device, immediately disconnect the power supply wiring
and contact technical assistance.
•Make sure the electric power supply devices (auxiliary batteries) are disconnected and that
they remain so during the entire installation before proceeding with the installation itself.
•Do not wear metal rings or bracelets when working on batteries.
The device was manufactured to be electrically safe and
mechanically resistant.
However, it is necessary to reduce the risk of damages to the
device that may cause burns.
Safety Measures:
•Avoid sparks or flames near the installation.
•Do not use the device if the antenna is damaged.
•Do not touch the damaged antenna with bare hands.
•Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.

3.4 Device Safety
The device was manufactured to be mechanically resistant.
Careless use and excessive mechanical strain may impair its
efficiency.
Safety Measures:
•Do not drop, shake or knock the device.
•Do not place objects over the cables nor bend them.
•Do not carry out any type of intervention that may damage the device.
•Do not open or disassemble the device.
•Do not fold the device's antenna.
•Use the device only with the antenna it is provided with or with one authorised by the device's
manufacturer.
•Make sure the device and any accessory connected to it are firmly secured before moving
the vehicle they are installed on.
The device was manufactured to be electrically safe and to work with
specific supply voltage levels.
Failure to comply with the specifications related to the power supply
may impair its efficiency.
Safety Measures:
•Do not wet the device with water or other liquids.
•The device's power supply must always be connected following the indications provided in
this manual.
•Do not use external batteries to power the device.
•Wear the most suitable personal protective equipment to avoid static electricity.
The device was designed to be used in specific environmental
conditions.
Installing and using the device in environments with temperatures
and humidity that differ from those indicated may impair its efficiency.
Safety Measures:
•Position the device as indicated in this manual.
•Do not expose or install the device near sources of heat.
•Position the device in order to guarantee its proper ventilation.
•Do not use corrosive chemicals, solvents or harsh detergents to clean the device.
9
The electromagnetic compatibility tests carried out on the device
guarantee that it can be adapted to the technologies normally used
on vehicles (e.g. engine control, ABS, airbag, etc.). Nevertheless, if
malfunctions occur, contact the vehicle's dealer.
In particular, the device's proper operation could be compromised by
covering the antenna with shielding objects and/or materials.
Such materials force the device to work with a higher power
compared to what is normally required.
Safety Measures:
•Do not cover the antenna with shielding objects or materials.
