en 10.2 Powering the Device The internal battery within the device powers the LED light only; make sure the device is powered correctly during diagnosis. The device can be powered in any of the following three ways: • via the diagnosis connector • directly from the battery • through lighter cable The green LED remains on (does not flash) if the device is being powered properly. Do not use external batteries that are not electrically connected to the vehicle you are working on. 10.2.
10.2.2 Power Directly from Battery Power can be drawn directly from the vehicle battery via specific adapters and cables. If the battery is in the rear of the vehicle, we recommend connecting the tool directly to the power supply points coming from the battery, available near the area in which you are operating. Only use the battery power when specifically requested to do so by the software.
en JACK CONNECTOR The device can be powered via a suitable cable that can be connected directly to the car adapter. • Device • Car adapter • Battery clamps (with jack connector) Proceed as follows: 1. Connect the device to the adapter. 2. Connect the clamps to the adapter. 3. Connect the clamps to the vehicle battery. The green LED remains on (does not flash) if the device is being powered properly. In this case the green LED on the junction box of the clamps will also turn on.
POWER SUPPLY CABLE The tool can be powered via a power supply cable connected to specific diagnosis cables. 1. Device 2. Motorcycle adapter 3. Diagnosis cable 4. Battery clamps (with superseal connector) Proceed as follows: 1. Connect the device to the adapter. 2. Connect the diagnosis cable to the adapter. 3. Connect the clamps to the cable. 4. Connect the clamps to the vehicle battery. This power supply mode can also be used on cars and commercial vehicles using suitable adapters and diagnosis cables.

position). Use an external battery only when indicated; in these cases connect the negative pole of this battery to the ground of the vehicle being diagnosed. 10.3 Recharging the Internal Battery The device is equipped with an internal battery that powers the LED light only. To charge the internal battery simply power the device using the vehicle battery or connect the display unit via USB. We suggest powering the display unit using the mains when charging the device via USB.
en 10.4 How to Communicate with the Viewing Unit The tool is not equipped with a user interface and the data acquired is sent to an appropriate viewing unit. Before starting the communication with the display unit, you must perform the special configuration procedure. The connection of the tool to the display unit can occurr in the following modes: • Bluetooth • USB To best exploit the potential of the tool, you must use the Bluetooth connection.
10.4.1 Connecting via Bluetooth The wireless connection eliminates the communication cable with the display unit, making the tool more practical to use. The serial number to use in order to configure Bluetooth communication can be found on the label behind the OBD connector. The blue LED flashes: • During the configuration phase of the Bluetooth communication. • During communication between the tool and the viewing unit, during data transmission.
en 10.4.2 Connection via USB In order to connect via USB use the USB cable provided or, if necessary, use cables on which "USB HIGH SPEED is specifically indicated. This powering mode is recommended during control unit reprogramming operations. 1. Device 2. USB cable 3. Display unit Proceed as follows: 1. Connect the USB mini connector of the USB cable to the device. 2. Connect the USB connector of the USB cable to the display unit. 3. Continue with the communication software configuration.
10.5 Blink Code The LEDs on the devices flash to indicate the various states of the devices themselves, both while they are connecting to the display unit and when they are connecting to the vehicle. LED GREEN BLUE 44 STATUS OFF Device not powered. ON Device powered. Blinking Tool in communication with the vehicle control unit. Off No Bluetooth communication. ON -- Blinking Device in communication with the display unit.
en 10.6 Connecting to the Control unit To carry out self-diagnosis you are required to connect the tool to the diagnosis socket of the vehicle and activate the connection between the tool and control unit via the software. Proceed as follows: 1. Via the software select the vehicle and the system on which you wish to carry out the self-diagnosis. 2. Locate the diagnostic socket using the information (images or short video) provided by the software. 3.
Carefully follow the instructions provided by the software. If not otherwise specified, supply the tool directly by the connection with the diagnostic socket of the vehicle. For further information see the operating manual of the software. 10.6.1 LED Light The LED light allows you to light up the diagnosis connector and the work area. Proceed as follows: Press and hold the on button. The LED light turns on. Release the button to turn off the LED light.
en 10.7 Pass-Thru Thanks to NAVIGATOR NANO and a simple Internet access you can carry out all the repairs that require the original reprogramming of the vehicle control units once they have been replaced. In compliance with protocol SAE J2534 Pass-Thru, vehicle manufacturers must offer independent repair shops the possibility to carry out reprogramming on vehicle control units. You need an active and working Internet connection. (ADSL is strongly recommended).
When using Pass-Thru, auxiliary power may be required in order to recharge the vehicle battery. The activation date, the actual availability, the type, the cost and the procedures regarding the use of the Pass-Thru service(s) are specifically determined by the individual manufacturer; costs, performance, and procedures may therefore vary independently from what TEXA S.p.A establishes. TEXA S.p.A.
en 10.8 Self-diagnosis The data acquired by the tool are displayed on the viewing unit via the software. The software provides functions that allow you, for instance, to do the following: • monitor the engineering parameters • view and delete the errors detected by the control unit • check the various states within the control unit (ex.
