Monitor icons - Indicate which Monitors are supported by the
vehicle under test, and whether or not the associated Monitor has
run its diagnostic testing (Monitor status). When a Monitor icon is
solid, it indicates that the associated Monitor has completed its
diagnostic testing. When a Monitor icon is flashing, it indicates that
the vehicle supports the associated Monitor, but the Monitor has not
yet run its diagnostic testing.

properly powered through the vehicle’s Data Link Connector (DLC).
A visible icon indicates that the Scan Tool is being powered through
the vehicle’s DLC connector.
4. Link icon - Indicates whether or not the Scan Tool is
communicating (linked) with the vehicle’s on-board computer. When
visible, the Scan Tool is communicating with the computer. If the
Link icon is not visible, the Scan Tool is not communicating with the
computer.
5. Computer icon - When this icon is visible it indicates that the
Scan Tool is linked to a personal computer. An optional “PC Link
Kit” is available that makes it possible to upload retrieved data to a
personal computer.
6. Scan Tool Internal Battery icon - When visible, indicates the
Scan Tool batteries are “low” and should be replaced. If the
batteries are not replaced when the battery symbol is "on", all 3
LEDs will light up as a last resort indicator to warn you that the
batteries need replacement. No data will be displayed on screen
when all 3 LEDs are lit.
