Teradyne Pocket Tester Installation & Set–up Guide
The Pocket Tester is a lightweight rugged diagnostic tool for use in the automotive service bay. The tool will enable technicians to carry out DTC reading and clearing and other data monitoring and control functions using the serial communications interface. The tester is designed as an intelligent vehicle diagnostic system and allows communication to specific OEM vehicle Electronic Control Units (ECUs), dependent upon availability of applicable software and to OBDII compatible vehicles.
Initial Set Up

a. Connect the AC charger (8410-3578-01) to the charger adaptor (3557-1111-00).
b. Connect the charger adaptor assembly to the Teradyne Pocket Tester’s 4-pin connector located at the rear of the unit.
c. Connect the AC charger to a suitable AC power outlet.
d. Charge the battery to minimum level of 3.2 Volts. This will take 5 to 30 minutes depending on the current charge level.

f. Allow 4 hours for complete charging.
Installing The Software
The software is installed onto the Teradyne Pocket Tester via a host PC.
The Teradyne Pocket Tester can be connected to the host PC via RS232 or USB for software transfer depending on the interfaces available on the host PC. If both are available, USB should be used due to the higher data transfer speed.
The minimum requirements of the host PC are:
– Microsoft® Windows® 98, 2000 Professional, Millennium Edition, XP, with SP1 or later (does not support Windows NT® 4.0.)
– CD–ROM Drive.
