INSTALLATION

Sensor Location

The factory has already set up the codes for the 4 sensors
which are provided and matched with
the monitor, and each sensor is
marked with the corresponding tire
position [LF, RF, LR, RR, SP (spare
tire)]. Install each sensor in the correct
tire position as per the diagram.

Sensor Battery Installation

1. Unscrew the sensor cap.

2. Insert battery into sensor ensuring that the

positive “+” is facing up.

3. Replace the sensor cap.

Repeat for the remaining sensors.

Sensor Installation

1. Unscrew the tire valve cap and mount the tire sensor in its
place.

2. Save the tire valve cap in the vehicle’s storage
compartment. Important: Only hand tighten the sensor
cap to prevent possible damage to the sensor.

CAUTION:

After proper sensor installation, it is
highly recommended to check for any
air leakage. Test by spraying soapy
water on the valve stem and look for
bubbles. No bubbles, no leaks.
Retighten if bubbles appear.

INSTALLATION

Monitor Installation

1. Secure the monitor inside the vehicle cabin without
obstructing the driver's vision of the road.

2. Place the monitor on the dashboard using the Dash Pad or
the double-sided tape. If using the double sided tape make
sure that the area choosen is clean and dry. Clean with
isopropyl alcohol, if necessary, to remove any waxes or
polishes.

3. Plug the power adapter into the cigarette lighter; turn the
monitor on to fully charge.

(It must be charged more than 2.5 hours the first time).

CAUTION:

1. The monitor should be installed inside the vehicle where it
does not affect normal driving.

2. The monitor should be securely placed to avoid falling off
during driving.

3. After the system is installed correctly, the driver does not
need to check the monitor while driving. Alerts will be
issued when abnormal conditions are found in the tires.
