Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
This product is intended for the use by a properly trained automotive technician. The following safety
instructions should be adhered to prevent harm to the user and/or the vehicle.
Since a variety of work procedures, technologies, tools, parts, etc. as well as technician’s skill are used and
involved in the diagnosis and maintenance/service of vehicle, various results are predicted and it is
impossible to provide a comprehensive set of advice and safety messages that can cover all cases.
Therefore, it is the responsibility for an automotive technician to have an adequate knowledge of the
diagnosis system. It is also important to perform work appropriately and to ensure your safety and the safety
of those around you, as well as to maintain the safety of the vehicle to be diagnosed and the relevant
devices to perform appropriate diagnosis and maintenance.
The precondition for use of the DST-i is that a user has sufficient knowledge of vehicle diagnostics and the
operation of the DST-i to safely use this product.
This document uses symbols for warnings, cautions, and prohibitions. These symbols and their meanings are as follows.
Please make sure you fully understand the meanings of these symbols before reading the rest of this document.

Safety Instructions
WARNING
Perform diagnostics and repair work according to the precautions included in "For safe
diagnostics".
Reference: Page v For safe diagnostics (Safety Instructions)
Refer to safety instructions and diagnosis procedures for the vehicle to be diagnosed and to those
provided by the manufacturer of devices before using this product, and adhere to those
instructions.
Failure to obey the precautions could result in an accident.
Do not perform any work while the vehicle is being driven.
Doing so could result in an accident.
Route the cable so it does not tangle with the technician or the operation control unit.
Failure to do so could result in an accident.
Always observe the following rules. Failure to do so can result in abnormal heat generation, fire,
explosion, or electric shock.
- Do not disassemble or alter this product.
- Do not connect this product to anything with voltage exceeding the ratings of this product.
- Do not connect the probe to any parts with voltage exceeding the ratings of this product.

Safety Instructions
CAUTION
Use wheel chocks to block the wheels prior to working on the vehicle.
Failure to do so could result in an accident.
When working in low visibility areas, for example under the vehicle, always make the vehicle
ignition switch OFF to ensure that the vehicle cannot be moved.
Failure to do so could result in an accident.
When you start the engine or move the vehicle, make sure everyone is clear of the vehicle.
More than 100 V is generated in the ECU and injector. Be careful not to be shocked by this high
voltage.
Before removing any parts, disconnect the negative battery cable.
Turn the vehicle ignition switch OFF before connecting or disconnecting the connector or the
electric terminal of the vehicle unless otherwise specified.
Failure to do so may cause damage on the vehicle side electric circuit.
Wear safety glasses and protective clothing during work near any rotating parts.
Parts can be thrown out by the rotating engine, resulting in an accident.
Do not remove the radiator cap unless the engine is cool.
Doing so will result in being splashed with high temperature and pressurized engine coolant.
Do not touch high temperature areas such as exhaust system, manifold, engine, radiator, etc. with
bare hands.
Failure to do so may cause a burn injury.
Wear gloves when touching and handling the high-temperature engine and parts.
Do not route the cable of this product over the engine compartment, especially if the engine is
running.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in an accident where the cable and your clothes are caught in
the belt and pulley.
Do not work anywhere that water could come in contact with the equipment.
Do not lift or drag the DST-i by holding the cable connected to the DST-i. Hold the body of the
DST-i when moving or installing it.
Do not apply any load causing stress to the connector connected to this product.
Failure to do so could result in an accident.
Before use, inspect for foreign material or pin breakage in each connector of this product.
- iv -
Safety Instructions
Have a fire extinguisher capable of extinguishing a gasoline, chemical or electrical fir in case of an
accidental fire.
All technicians must wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
Fuel, oil vapor, high temperature vapor, poisonous emission gas, acid, refrigerant and other foreign
substances may be emitted due to failure and malfunction of the vehicle system.
When connecting or disconnecting the oscilloscope probe or ground cable to this product, ensure
correct orientation of the connector and gently insert it.
If the connector is connected in the wrong orientation, inserted or pulled out at the wrong angle, there is a
risk of damaging the connector terminal and this may cause the DST-i to malfunction.
Do not pull on the cable, hold on the connector section to disconnect the cable.
Pulling on the cord section can break the wires in the cable.

Notch (Center)
CAUTION
Do not use a datalink cable other than those intended for DST-i.
Check the connector for adhesion of foreign substances or breakage of connector pins before
connecting it.
When connecting the datalink cable to DST-i and the vehicle side diagnosis connector, pay
attention to the connector direction, and connect it straight and gently.
Connecting the cable in an incorrect direction or inserting it at an angle may damage the connector
terminal and cause a malfunction of the vehicle or DST-i.
Do not apply a load to the connector connected to DST-i.

A long duration data measurement starts when the recording start mark is pressed, or when the trigger conditions
are met as they are set.
This software is able to record data taken before the start of recording. The data located before the start of
recording is called a "pretrigger".
The recording time for a pretrigger is referred to as "pretime" and the "pretime" is a settable parameter. This is
called "pretime setting".
1. Select the pretime display from the lower selection items of the waveform observation screen, and
