NOTICE
FCC Notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
Caution: Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
System Scope of Use and Warnings
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
This system is a sensing device designed to measure and display tire operation and/or activate an alert to the driver
when pressure and temperature irregularities are detected. It is the responsibility of the driver to react promptly and
with discretion to alerts. Abnormal tire inflation pressure should be corrected at the earliest opportunity.
System Installation and Usage
Use of the TPMS requires that it has been properly installed by qualified personnel according to the instructions here.
This system is suitable for use in passenger car, SUV and 4X4 tires up to maximum cold inflation pressure of 500
Kpa (or 73 Psi).
Reacting to Alerts
When an alert or warning is received, reduce vehicle speed and proceed to a safe stop location where the tire can
be inspected and/or serviced.
The low-pressure alert indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum and a high-temperature
alert indicates that the temperature of the tire content has surpassed the threshold value set.
Use of Chemical
Temporary resealing or re-inflation products containing internal sealants or propellants in any tire assembly may
adversely affect the operation of the Sensor/Transmitter.

3. GETTING STARTED
How it works
Pressure and temperature information are sent to the Receiver and displayed on the LCD display. When an under-
inflated, over-inflated or over-heated tire is detected, the Receiver will emit an audible warning and activate the
backlight to warn the driver. The alerts depend on threshold value set for pressure and temperature. Either the
factory or manual preset value can be selected.
Handling Alerts
When any of the tires is not within the threshold limits (e.g. under inflated or over heated, the following will occur:
• An audible warning will be activated for a period of 10 seconds at the first occurrence.
• The backlight of the LCD display would be activated for 20 seconds at the first occurrence.
• Low/High Pressure Alert: Pressure Alert indicator (Yellow) of the module turn On permanently.
• Initial Low Pressure Alert: Pressure Alert indicator (Yellow) of the module will blink.
• High Temperature Alert: Temperature Alert indicator (Yellow) of the module turns On permanently.
• Tire icon will blink at the faster rate.
The above conditions will persist until the threshold returns to their corresponding preset value.
All TPMS unit comes with the following factory-preset value:
a. Initial Low Pressure Alert when tire pressure is greater than 120Kpa but lesser or equal to 170Kpa (50Kpa
before Low Pressure Alert)
b. Low Pressure Alert when tire pressure is lesser or equal to 120 Kpa (23 Psi)
c. High Pressure Alert when tire pressure is greater or equal to 300 Kpa (44 Psi)
d. High Temperature Alert when tire temperature is greater than 80ºC (176ºF)

Installation
Caution: Qualified personnel must perform the following installation
procedures to ensure that the Sensor/Transmitter Module are
properly installed and undamaged. It does not include any standard
procedures normally required in the process of replacing a tire but
due care should be taken to ensure that the sensors are not
damaged.
Tools Required
• Tire changing equipment
• Tire balancing equipment
• Philip Screwdriver

Note
The following is suggested installation sequence:
Transmitter Wheel Position
Red (1) Left Front
Yellow (2) Right Front
Blue (3) Right Rear
Green (4) Left Rear
White (5) *Spare Tire
Table 5
• Remove the original tire valve from tire rim.
• Insert the provided tire valve into rim valve hole.
(Figure 3a & Figure 3b.)
• Position the Sensor/Transmitter rear to the mounted
tire valve. (Figure 4),
• Insert the provided screw to the Sensor as shown in
figure 5 and screw the Sensor to the tire valve.
(Figure 6). The tire valve will be the reference
position of the sensor in order not to damage the
sensor when removing tire from the wheel. Ensure
that the screw is properly tightened to hold the
sensor.
• Attach the corresponding color tag to the valve stem
and secure it with the valve cap by carefully twisting
the tag onto the valve stem. See Figure 7a and
Figure 7b.
• Proceed to mount the tire onto the wheel.
• Ensure that the tires are properly re-balanced.
