1. VT60-S DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the VT60-S is to:
• Retrieve data from the tire pressure sensor.
• Verify the identities of each tire pressure sensor mounted on vehicle wheels.
• Assist a technician to reset TPM system on vehicle.
• Test the RKE signal strength.
• Possibility to transfer data into the vehicle ECU (OBD2 interface option).
The instrument interacts with the tire pressure sensor without contact through wireless
communication.

2.2. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage
• Keep the device dry. Precipitations, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove the battery and
allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its electronic components can be damage.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device other than instructed in this guide.
• Do not drop, knock or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and
fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvent or strong detergent to clean the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Do not touch the main display with hard or angular materials. Objects like earrings or jewellery
may scratch the display.
• Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the device.
• Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could
damage the device and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery or any enhancements. If any
device is not working properly, take it the nearest ATEQ service facility for service.
2.3. CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
This device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
This device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection off all persons, regardless of age and health.
For further information see ICNIRP "guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric,
magnetic and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)" or contact ATEQ.
The SAR value for this device is less than 5A/m. This value is the reference level for general public
exposure to time varying electric and magnetic fields (unperturbed rms values) for the 3 – 150 kHz
frequency range.

instructions. Potentially explosives atmospheres include areas where you would normally be
advised to turn of vehicles engines. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death. Switch of the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at
service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipments in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas; chemicals plants; or where blasting operation are in progress. Areas with
potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They included chemicals
transfer or storage facilities, vehicle using liquefied petroleum gas (such as butane or propane),
and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
