2) Be aware that an indoor/outdoor thermometer with an external temperature sensor may interfere with the TST TPMS. Temporarily remove all the batteries in the thermometer AND exterior sensor and see if the problem is corrected. A thermometer with a higher frequency (915 Mhz) may be required.

TST-Doc-510 Manual-(A) • Why does my display sometimes alarm while I am sitting still in the evening? As night approaches and outdoor temperatures decrease, your tire pressures may drop below the parameters you have set, thus causing an out of spec alarm. When temperatures drop, turn your monitor off overnight.
