Cables and Cable Connections

To avoid damaging the MVCI, the cards, or the cables, use the following information to help when attaching cables
or connectors to the MVCI, or plugging in the SD wireless or the SD memory cards:
NOTE: Do not remove the SD card unless a problem has occurred (see SD Card Removal/Installation for more
information).
• Use only parts supplied or recommended for use with your MVCI.
• Make sure the connector is properly oriented to make sure the terminals fit properly.
• Do not try to force a connector. If it doesn't connect properly, check the condition and the orientation of the
connector. Also check the alignment of the terminals to make sure they are not bent or broken. If they are, replace
the applicable cable or tool.
• If a connector has screws for locking the connection, fasten the screws firmly.
• Do not carry the MVCI by attached cables or forcefully pull on the cables.

Battery Installation and Replacement

The MVCI contains two (2) rechargeable NiMH AA batteries. The MVCI is not designed to operate on these
batteries.
They are a back-up power source when the MVCI is disconnected from the vehicle DLC or its external power
adapter.
These batteries are charged whenever the MVCI is connected to a vehicle and receiving power from the vehicle or
plugged in using the AC power adapter. Use the supplied AC Power Adapter (BOSCH replacement P/N H547571)
only. If the batteries need replacing, use 2000mAh NiMH AA batteries (BOSCH replacement P/N H550175).
NOTE: The batteries do not come installed in the MVCI.
To install or replace the batteries:
1. With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the battery cover.
2. Insert the batteries, making sure they are properly oriented.
3. Reinstall the battery cover.
