Reasons
for
Signal Loss
a)
The booster
is
not
functioning.
All
TireMinder systems
come
with a
booster
included.
If
you have
not
installed it,
then
"shame
on
you."
If
it
is
installed, check
that
the
booster
is
powered correctly. You should
see
a green
LED
glow when
the
unit
is
powered
on
. See "Signal Booster" (page
7).
b)
The system
is
over 9 months old and
the
transmitter batteries
need
to
be replaced.
c)
One
of
the
transmitters has
been
lost
or
damaged.
d)
Electronic Interference: With
the
constant
addition
of
new wireless products (many running
at
433 MHz),
it
is
possible
that
the
TireMinder signal
is
being interrupted
by
electronic interference. If
the
signal comes back
or
is
lost intermittently, you can rest assured
the
loss
is
due
to
such interference. 90%
of
this problem
is
cured
by
using
the
booster.
Is
yours installed with a
green
LED
glowing? If
YES,
and all
other
possible signal loss
reasons have
been
eliminated, consider moving
the
booster
to
a
more
central location.
e)
Distance: Under normal operating conditions, distance
is
not
an
issue if
you
have installed
the
booster. At
the
same time,
extreme
cold and low
transmitter
battery
(under 3 volts)
power
will
shorten
the
operating
distance even with a
booster
installed.
f)
Missing
Vehicle
- "Signal
Lossn
The appearance
of
the
"Signal Loss"
is
inevitable when a
towed
vehicle/trailer
is
separated from
the
towing unit unless you implement
the
unique "Disconnect Mode"
of
the
ilO.
If
you
do
not
use
the
"Disconnect Mode"
but
are aware you left
the
vehicle behind,
you
may simply ignore
the
warnings. If
you
are
not
aware
of
the
missing vehicle,
we
suggest you
turn
around and go find
it!!!
When
the
two
systems are re-united,
the
monitor
will
pick
up
the
missing tires
automat
ically. This usually happens
within
the
first 20 minutes.
If
you
need
them
to
re-connect immediately, simply loosen (depressurize) and tighten
(re-pressurize)
the
transmitters
on
any missing wheels.
OUR
Recommended
Alternative
is
to
put
the
unit
in
the
full "Auto-Search Mode" (see page
13).
