System Installation and Usage Use of the SmarTire® system requires that it has been properly installed and programmed by qualified personnel according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation. This includes the Owner’s Manual and any supplementary installation instructions included with system components. Use of Chemicals Temporary resealing or reinflation products containing internal sealers or propellants in any tire/wheel assembly may adversely affect the operation of the Sensor/Transmitters. Reacting to Alerts When an alert or warning condition is detected, reduce vehicle speed to an appropriate safe level and proceed to a safe stopping location or facility where the tire can be inspected and serviced. The low pressure alert or warning indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum. FCC NOTICE This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to thefollowing two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference thatmay cause undesired operation.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class Bdigital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed toprovide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residentialinstallation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energyand, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee thatinterference will not occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user isencouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the followingmeasures:•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to whichthe receiver is connected.•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Changes or modifications to this device without the express approval of SmarTireSystems Inc. may void the user’s authority to use this device.
Installation of Transmitters 1. Slide the stainless steel straps through each of the Transmitters. 2. Dismount tire from wheel. 3. Position strap/Transmitter assembly around wheel at the lowest point of the drop-center. See Figures 1 and 2. 4. The strap transmitter is to be positioned 3” from the worm gear 5. Position the Transmitter at the valve stem opening then pull strap tight. Push in on the worm gear nut to hold the position. 6. Tighten with 5/16” nut driver or screwdriver until Transmitter is secure (35” pounds torque). 7. Cut excess strap leaving 1” past the worm gear. 8. Mount tire being careful not to pinch the Transmitter with the bead of the tire. 9. Balance the tire. 10. Mount the tire on the vehicle. Testing the System 1. Turn on the ignition switch and verify that the Receiver beeps three times and the FFD turns on. 2. Reduce the air in a tire to 3 PSI below the alert level (15 PSI or 1.03 BAR), and verify that the warning light of the FFD turns on. 3. Re-inflate the tire. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for remaining tire positions. 5. In cases where the settings are not appropriate to the installation, use the FFD manual to program the system to the desired settings.

Install the antenna according to instructions in the antenna kit. 2. Find a suitable location for the Receiver and Full Function Display assembly. The Receiver is normally installed behind the dashboard. The Full Function Display is assembled somewhere on or in the dashboard. 3. Wire the system as shown in Figure 5. Plug the Full Function Display into the left plug of the Receiver. Plug the power cable into right side plug. 4. The red wire of the power cable connects to a positive fused connection. The black wire connects to ground. Note: All connections must be made with the vehicle battery isolated Figure 2 – Transmitter side View Figure 1 – Wheel Installation
