Also available is a custom PDA for use with the LS1M scanner. It comes with a PDA, USB hotsync cable, serial
hotsync cable, home charger, car charger, Getting Started guide and a PDA software CD.
The PDA software CD has some extra programs on it and some more online documentation, but everything you
need is contained on the LS1M CD. When the term “CD” is used in this User’s Guide, it’s referring to the LS1M
CD.
The serial cable also has a charge connector on it, which connects to the car charger so the PDA can be charged up
in the vehicle.
To connect to the car, the PDA plugs into the serial cable and the serial cable plugs into the LS1M cable. The serial
cable’s charge connector plugs into the car charger, which plugs into the cigarette lighter. Make sure the car’s
ignition key is in the “RUN” position, or start the engine before scanning.
There are a pair of internal DIP switches in the little black box of the OBD2 cable. Turning these switches “ON”
will provide enough power to the PDA for scanning, but not for charging. If you use the car charger, you can leave
these DIP switches “OFF” (facory default). Turn these switches “ON” if you don’t want to use the car charger, or if
you are using your own Handspring PDA. If you have a Palm PDA, leave the switches “OFF”.
