The VCI should be secured in a safe location when operating the vehicle to avoid interference with other vehicle equipment. Only use the specified adapters and cables when connecting the VCI module. (7~35VDC) Ensure all cables are properly connected during operation. Do not disconnect communication cable or power cables unless finished with the equipment. When using the trigger module, ensure that the module is installed in a safe and secure location to avoid interference with other vehicle equipment. Do not disassemble the VCI module. Use only genuine accessory parts supplied by GIT. Never connect the device to equipment rather than vehicles. Products are to be stored within the right temperatures. (Refer to CAUTION)
G 1 CAUTION This indicates incorrect handling may lead to injury or damage to property. Under certain conditions more serious consequences may result. Do not remove the rubber shield from the VCI. Keep liquids and other contaminants away from the VCI. Do not drop the VCI. Do not place any objects (tools, manuals, etc.) on the VCI. Observe correct polarity when connecting the battery supply extension cable. When connecting cables under the hood, secure the cables to avoid damage caused by hot or moving parts. Unplugging the DLC and USB cables from the VCI module must only be done after releasing the cable connector lock tap(s). USB cable must be connected to VCI module in order to upgrade any vehicle ECU or VCI firmware. Properly store all components when not in use. Do not use cables as carrying handles. Do not store products in places where;
Extremely high or low temperature (Refer to feature of products) Extremely high or low humidity (Refer to feature of products) Inside a vehicle during summer season for a long time Exposed to direct rays Avoid a shock or vibrations or under heavy weight.

G 7 VCI and GDS Trigger Connection VCI and GDS Trigger must be paired to transfer and save the data for Flight Record function from the vehicle to VCI module. They are paired by Bluetooth communication system and must be set up as shown below. Preparing Notice VCI II must be connected to OBD-II connector on the vehicle and VCI II should be turned on. When the trigger module is connected to the Cigar Lighter Socket, the VCI II power is turned on automatically and it searches VCI II and connects it. Caution VCI must be connected to the OBD-II connector on the vehicle.(Power on) When the trigger module is connected to the Cigar Lighter Socket, the VCI power is turned on automatically and it searches VCI and connects it.
G 8 Pairing between VCI and GDS Trigger Module We, GIT, supply VCI and GDS Trigger Module as a paired status. However, if they are not paired, follow the instruction below. 1. Turn VCI and GDS Trigger on. 2. Press Enter button on GDS Trigger more than 2 seconds. 3. Press Reset button on VCI more than 2 seconds, while orange light is flashing on Enter button. 4.
