E. Sensor runs out of battery sensor power shortages
Sensors for the electronic detection devices, requires the use of power-driven functions, and lithium batteries have power to limit the use of its stockpile, because the sensor battery will reduced gradually, if the sensor battery is running low then the low sensor battery will appears in figure shows, please replace the sensor lithium batteries, in order to collect  accurate tire information.

• Monitor runs out of power

• Car battery running low

• Sensor runs out of battery

:Set Other
Under the system settings mode selectable language settings and battery settings can be select by users.
This unit provides multilingual for user to select.
This unit feature two battery settings – Save Mode, 24H Trace Mode.
Save Mode: when the vehicle is in parking position for over 20 minutes, the unit will directly into the sleep mode, no longer be monitored in order to extend battery life.
24H Trace Mode: will continue to monitor the vehicle in parking position, in order to obtain the latest tire information.

:Set Vibration
In the tire vibrate setting mode selectable sensitivity settings and tire recalibration settings, users are free to select the sensitivity.
Sensitivity: sensitivity is divided into 0-7 level, level 0 is off, the greater the level of sensitivity of the more sensitive. The higher the sensitivity adjustment may be vulnerable due to the rugged pavement caused by abnormal vibration alert is triggered.
Reset: four tires reassess the vibration of the vehicle and began collecting four vibration analysis parameters. When the sensor after disassembly, tire change a wheel or other movement strongly recommend you to use this function to re- calibrate.

This feature requires a second source of power supply.

During sensor installation please check and make sure no crack or aging on the rubber part, and should be checked regularly to enhance driving safety.

The installation of External Sensors

As each sensor has its own position, you have to make sure its pre-set position. When inserting batteries in every sensors please don’t mix up sensor caps and every sensors have own positions and sensors map could give guidance for user to install.

1. means “ Front Left Tire ”.
2. means “ Front Right Tire”.
3. means “ Rear Left Tire ”.
4. means “ Rear Right Tire ”.

Make sure sensor body won’t mix up with other sensor cap.

Note:
Due to the sensor consumes very small battery power, so that the remaining battery power could be retained for some time, in the process of resetting the battery and cause malfunctions. Battery replacement is recommended, should be discharged on the sensor, please follow these steps:

A. Could use metal objects, such as coins, keys… etc., into the sensor at the same time touching the battery metal holder and yellow color area (battery holders negative), to achieve the power discharge. As shown in the photo.
B. Then re-insert the lithium battery into sensor.
