General Introduction
OTOFIX BT1
Smart Touchscreen Battery Analyzer
The OTOFIX BT1 smart touchscreen battery analyzer is a full-featured battery
and starting/charging systems diagnostics tool. The OTOFIX BT1 uses a
technology called Adaptive Conductance to more accurately determine the
health of battery than traditional battery testers. The OTOFIX BT1 can quickly
display both voltage and health status of the existing battery, register a new
battery, and perform advanced battery and electrical diagnostics. The OTOFIX
BT1 is also an advanced diagnostics tool that can identify faults in all systems
and display live data relating to those faults. (The all systems diagnostics
function is available by subscription.) The easy-to-use Android-based
touchscreen tool provides Wi-Fi software updates as well as Wi-Fi printing and
sharing of the shop-customized reports which can be printed out with the built-
in thermal printer.
There are two main components to the OTOFIX BT1:
OTOFIX BT1 Tester — the smart touchscreen battery analyzer
OTOFIX V1 — Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI)

15.3 About Battery Usage
Your tester is powered by a built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery. This means that,
unlike other forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery while
some charge remains without reducing your tester’s autonomy due to the “battery
memory effect” inherent in those technologies.
57
1. The built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery is factory replaceable only;
incorrect replacement or tampering with the battery pack may cause an
explosion.
2. Do not use a damaged battery charger.
Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.
Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the
battery, expose to fire, explosion or other hazards.
Make sure to use the charger and USB cables that come together in the
package only. If you use the other charger and USB cables, you might
incur malfunction or failure of the device.
Only use the charging device that has been qualified with device per the
standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of
fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazards.
Avoid dropping the tester. If the tester is dropped, especially on a hard
surface, and the user suspects damage, contact support.
The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery
capacity.
Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
Since over charging may shorten battery life, remove the tester from its
charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger once charging is
complete.
Leaving the tester in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer
or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always keep
the battery within normal temperatures.

60
SAR
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact is minimized during normal operation.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6 W/Kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the network. To avoid the possibility of
exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to antenna
should be minimized.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
