62. About general sensor installation and removalWARNINGFailure to observe the following warning items may result in serious traffic accident due to tire damage or detection of erroneous air pressure.• Install or uninstall the sensor at a tire shop.• Refer to the instructions in the operation guide when installing or uninstalling the sensor.• Use genuine mounting band to secure the sensor. Using unauthorized band can cause the band to break during vehicle movement resulting in rim or tire damage.• Be sure to use new mounting band matching the wheel diameter and rim size. Using mounting band that is too long, too short, or previously used can cause the sensor or band to drop out during vehicle movement resulting in rim or tire damage.• If the width of the well at the center of the rim is extremely narrow causing the sensor to touch the wall of the well or if the well is extremely shallow causing the sensor to protrude from the well, contact your authorized dealer or Bridgestone customer service and check that the sensor can be installed beforehand.• Be sure to attach a white plastic "valve mark" on the valve of the tire with sensor installed.• Be careful not to damage the sensor or the mounting band when replacing the tire. The mounting band can become loose and drop out during motion when it comes in contact with tire lever or tire changer. Tires with white plastic "valve mark" on the valve are tires with sensor installed near the valve. Be careful with their handling.• Normal "mounting tire on rim" and "removing tire from rim" involves equipment such as tire changer and can cause tire damage. Observe the general precautions for "mounting tire on rim" and "de-mounting tire on rim" described in the equipment manual.• If the tire is improperly rimmed, the tire can burst and fly apart when inflating. Be sure to inflate the tire inside a safety enclosure.• This guide describes the precautions during installation of this product, but it is not possible to assume and describe all hazards. Be very careful when performing these tasks.

20Sensor Transportation, Storage, and DisposalThe sensor periodically transmits radio waves (periodic transmission function). Therefore, you must stop the periodic radio wave transmission function when transporting, storing, or disposing the sensor.4-1 Precaution during transportationSensor used as Hand Reader typeSensor used as Hand Reader type will not transmit radio signals unless instructed by the hand reader. It has no periodic transmission function so it can be transported without any problem.Sensor used as On-Board typeSensor used as On-Board type is set to "Normal transmission mode" and periodically outputs radio waves.When transporting sensor by airStop the periodic transmission using a separately purchased hand reader so that the radio waves from the sensor do not interfere with the electronic equipment on the airplane. Refer to the "On-Board Type Operation Guide" for information on how to set with the hand reader.4-2 Precaution during storageBoth the Hand Reader type and On-Board type sensor must be placed in a sealed metal box when storing to shield them from hand reader signals and 125 kHz frequency radio signals (output by some types of inverter, IC card reader, or ID card reader).NOTE• When storing for an extended period, stop the periodic transmission of sensor used as On-Board type.4-3 Precaution during disposalYour purchasing dealer will salvage the sensor you no longer need. Contact your dealer when disposing the sensor.
