Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your ArtiDiag 500, simply connect the diagnostic cable to the OBD2 port typically located under the steering column of your vehicle. The device draws power directly from the car's battery, so no external charging is required.
Compatibility covers most OBD2-compliant vehicles; however, always verify that your specific vehicle model year is supported via the manufacturer's database. To maintain the device, keep the cable free from grease and debris, store the unit in a dry, room-temperature environment, and avoid dropping the screen. Periodic firmware updates, if available, should be performed by connecting the device to a computer via the provided data port.
