Page 2: Warning Notices
Warning notices Since this tyre pressure monitoring system communicates wirelessly, signal interference can occur with the operating manual is disregarded or commissioning is carried out incorrectly. Devices that radiate airwaves or radio waves can interfere with the receiver, which can cause a malfunction of the system despite correct installation. If a malfunction occurs, please attempt to re-learn the system or increase the distance between the possible sources of error (the interfering devices) and the system. -
Page 3: Precautionary Measures When Driving

Page 9: Display Operation
Display operation 1.6 Switch-on process Briefly pressing Bt1 or Bt2 switches on the display. The display is then in the initial learning mode or monitoring mode. Monitoring mode is recognisable by the clockwise-rotating arrow. Attention! Switch on the display before each drive, because it only provides warnings when switched on. -
Page 10: No Communication With The Sensor
The learning process is successfully completed when the display automatically switches back to monitoring mode and the arrow rotates clockwise. The pre-adjusted limit values (air pressure warning) are at 1.8 bar. They can be changed as described in chapter 1.11, steps 1 - 4. 1.7.1 No communication with the sensor If the teaching process is interrupted and/or not completed due to signal interference, etc., the display switches off. -

1.10.2 Temperature too high \ | / \ | / / | \ / | \ If a temperature of 95°C is exceeded, the alarm diode blinks for 10 seconds. The current temperature value blinks alternatingly with an exclamation mark (!) at the relevant position for as long as the threshold value is exceeded. -
Page 13: Display Menu Guidance
1.11 Display menu guidance The display is in monitoring mode after switching on, chapter 1.6 Step 1: Settings Please press and hold button Bt1 to enter the settings. The display switches back to monitoring mode after approx. 4 minutes without actuation of a button. - Page 14 Step 3: Minimum pressure (select limit value) Please use the pressures recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for the setpoint for the adjustment of limit values.
