Viper Pro Do’s and Don’ts
Do have the Viper Pro serial number and firmware revision available when calling
for technical assistance. It is best if the user is in the machine and in front of the
Viper Pro when calling for tech support.
Do review the manual in its entirety before operating Viper Pro.
Do power the DGPS receiver and the Raven console or CANBus system before
powering Viper Pro.
Don’t jump start or weld on any part of the vehicle with the field computer
connected. To prevent damage to the field computer, disconnect the main and
auxiliary cable connectors on the back of the field computer.

field computer loses power when in a job, part of the information within the job files
will not be saved and the associated files may become corrupt.
