Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference 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 is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures : • 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 which the 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 SmarTire Systems Inc. may void the user’s authority to use this device. SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC. E U R O P E A N R E G U L AT I O N S This device complies with all European Electromagnetic compatibility regulations (95/54 /EC and EN300 220-1). The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the above regulations, and in addition it meets the requirements for low powered transmitters/receivers as defined by the relevant radio approval authority. The regulations are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference or susceptibility. Changes made to this device without the express approval of SmarTire Europe Ltd. may void the user’s authority to use this device. S Y S T E M S C O P E O F U S E A N D WA R N I N G S The SmarTire System and Tire Maintenance This system is a sensing device designed to identify and display tire operating data and/or activate an alert or warning when pressure irregularities are detected. It is the responsibility of the driver to react promptly and with discretion to alerts and warnings. Abnormal tire inflation pressures should be corrected at the earliest opportunity. the tire can be inspected and serviced. The low pressure alert or warning indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum. 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. Power Connection If your Display is connected to an unkeyed cigarette lighter socket unplug it when you park the vehicle for extended periods (more than three days) to avoid draining the battery or triggering a false diagnostic alert. System Installation and Usage Use of the SmarTire system requires that it has been properly installed and programmed by personnel according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation. This includes the Owner’s Manual and any supplementary installation instructions included with system components. This system is suitable for use in passenger and light truck tires up to maximum cold inflation pressure of 65 psi or 4.46 bar. 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 Getting Started RECEIVER SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC. Congratulations! As the owner of this state-of-the-art wireless tire pressure monitoring system, you will enjoy the improved convenience and benefits of having tire pressure information automatically monitored while you are driving. The SmarTire system consists of wheel mounted Sensor/Transmitters inside each tire which measure contained air pressure and temperature and transmit this data to a Receiver within view of the driver (the optional Full Function Display is required to display pressure and temperature). Front indicator panel System light Tire – Green Tire – Red Tire – Blue Tire – Yellow Having carried out the correct installation procedure (see Installation section in this manual), the SmarTire system is ready to use. Transmitter Basic Receiver Back Note: Shown with rear cover removed. Diagnostic port Power Power adapter interface Note: Each color on front indicator panel refers to a Transmitter with a corresponding washer color. Color washer must stay with the corresponding color Transmitter during tire rotation. Operation Low pressure alert A Low Pressure Alert (factory default 22 psi or 1.53 bar), is identified by an audible alarm and a red illuminated light for the affected tire. Alert when parked Parked : If the vehicle is parked, pressure is measured every 20 minutes and data transmitted if the pressure drops to 18 psi (1.25 bar) or lower. If the Receiver is on, it indicates this with a flashing red illuminated light for the affected tire. If your Receiver stays powered on when the vehicle is parked, all the lights will revert to amber within 40 minutes, except the system light which remains green. HOW IT WORKS SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC. The system operates continuously, transmitting air pressure and temperature data, • At approximately 5 minute intervals when the vehicle is moving faster than 6 mph (10 kph), unless pressure changes, then data is transmitted within 7 seconds. • Every 20 minutes when the vehicle is parked and pressure drops to 18 psi (1.25 bar) or lower. No data received (amber lights flashing) All data received (system light green, all others off) After the Receiver is turned on, the lights flash red, green, then amber, waiting for Transmitter data. In Motion : When transmissions are received amber tire lights turn off one at a time and the system light turns green. Low pressure warning A Low Pressure Warning (factory default 18 psi or 1.25 bar), is identified by a repeated audible alert and a flashing red light, repeated every minute for the affected tire. This continues until tire condition is corrected after which the light turns off. Installation SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC. T R A N S M I T T E R I N S TA L L AT I O N Caution : Qualified personnel must perform the following installation procedures that highlight the steps required to ensure that the Transmitters are properly installed and undamaged. It does not include any standard procedures normally required in the process of replacing a tire (i.e. lubrication, proper inflation and deflation procedures and any other procedures deemed necessary by the tire manufacturer or dealer). The equipment and images in this manual use one manufacturer’s tire changer and may not apply to you.

(see Fig.4) Some stiff side wall tires (such as “runflats”) require setting the Transmitter between 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock. Start the top bead in front of the mount head assisting with the mounting bar to prevent slippage. FIG.4 Proceed to mount the tire on the wheel. SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC. Note: Color washer must stay with the corresponding color Transmitter during installation and tire rotation. To avoid damaging the Transmitter during tire mounting, position the wheel with the Transmitter located at 7 o’clock in relation to the mount head at 12 o’clock. Set the lubricated tire on the wheel with its traction point 3 in. (75 mm) before the Transmitter. Use the mount head to guide the rest of the bottom bead over the flange and onto the rim. 12 Inflate the tire to seat the bead, deflate completely and then inflate the tire to manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure. Balance the wheel. MOUNTING TIRE WITH TRANSMITTER ON WHEEL With the bottom bead in place, you will be able to position the wheel with the Transmitter at 7 o’clock for most tires. Depress the bead into the drop centre so that the traction point is 3 in. (75 mm) before the Transmitter.

The Receiver is installed: Transmitter Loosen both beads with the bead loosener shoe opposite the valve stem (away from the Transmitter which is located near the valve stem). Verify the Transmitter location. Orient the wheel to place the Transmitter 3 in. (75 mm) to the left of the bead guiding shoe so that the mounting bar will clear the Transmitter. When lifting the top bead the tire must be clear of the Transmitter. Remove the top bead. R E C E I V E R I N S TA L L AT I O N 1.
