Register Tool

 

 

After creating an account, or if you already have one, visit the same link as above and sign in.

 

If you are signing in for the first time, you will be asked to register your tool. If you already have an account, click on Product Registration on the left side of the page and fill in the information required.

 

• NOTE: The Register Password is a 6-digit code found in your device on the “About” screen.

 

 

 

 

 

‣ STEP 2: DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING MAXI PC SUITE

 

(FOR WINDOWS USERS ONLY)

 

Click the link below to download the Maxi PC Suite.

 

 

 

 

Once downloaded, open the file and click on Setup to begin the installation. Follow the installation prompts.

 

Once you have clicked Finish on the installation you should find the Maxi PC Suite program icon on your desktop. Open Maxi PC Suite and continue to the next step.

 

• NOTE: Older PC’s may not have the program necessary to open .zip files. You may need to download a free .zip extractor to open this file type.

 

 

 

 

 

‣ STEP 3: CONNECTING AND UPDATING YOUR TOOL

 

Once Maxi PC Suite is open, connect your tool to your PC and set the tool to Update Mode. Depending on your tool model Update Mode can be found on the Home Screen or in the My Device menu.

 

Maxi PC Suite should now connect to your tool. Log in if you are prompted to do so.

 

• NOTE: Before beginning any updates, make sure the serial number (displayed on the left side of the window) matches the serial number on the back of your tool.

 

WHILE UPDATING, DO NOT HANDLE THE TOOL OR CABLE.

 

 

 

 

 

‣ STEP 4: CHECK THE MARKET SETTING BEFORE USE

 

After the update is complete and Maxi PC Suite displays ‘No Available Updates’ you can unplug the tool from your PC.

 

In your tool go to Settings (found under My Device on TS408/TS508/TS508WF) and check the Market option. MAKE SURE IT IS SET TO AMERICA. If it is not, change the Market to America before using the tool.

 

Once these steps are finished, the update is complete and you can use your tool.

 

*The TS508WF is capable of two software update methods: via Wi-Fi without a PC or via PC as explained above. If you update a TS508WF via Wi-Fi we recommend the tool is plugged into a power source to avoid draining the battery.
