Precautions
1. Please do not operate this device during drive.
2. Due to rubber valve stem aging under high temperature and expose
under the sun, which may cause crack on the rubber stem, therefore,
we recommended metal type of valve stem.
3. Please choose the installation location carefully so that the TFT monitor
will not interfere driver when driving.
i. Please make sure TFT monitor firmly fixed to the front windshield or
dashboard.
ii. When read through tire pressure figures from TFT monitor, please
also take care of driving safety.
4. Please make sure the TFT display can receive signals from all tire
pressure sensors.
5. Tyredog TPMS has unique anti-theft tool to prevent sensor being stolen.
You can decide whether install or not.
6. Please double confirm if sensors are fitted tightly. If necessary, please
spreading detergent water on the valve stem to check any air leakage.
7. If tire pressure is getting down or dropping quickly, please stop car
immediately to find out if tire is deflated or another other problem is
happening.
8. The monitor will automatically make connections in whole system
when car starts to run. It is normal that some tire pressure figures
might not be updated immediately due to there is no change of tire
pressure in those tires.
9. Tyredog TPMS has mechanism to avoid interfering /being interfered

V1.0-FB06 (1105232)
5
with other signals.
10. Many environmental factors cause tire pressure rise and down as well.
For example, hot weather or warm tire will lead rising tire pressure.
11. It is natural that tire pressure will decrease by days but not caused by
the installation of tire pressure monitoring system. Tyredog TPMS can
response with its real figure of pressure.
12. Please don’t mix your sensor with other systems’, as each system has
its separate unique identified number of sensor, or the mixed sensor
won’t activate.
13. If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are
not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Tyredog
dealer.
The Main Purpose
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an efficient and
effective solution to many of current automotive safety problems. TPMS
will help prevent driving on deflated tires and reduce fuel consumption.
There are benefits here：
Improves ride performance and handling
Tire pressure leads to driving condition a lot.
Decreases chance of tire blowout
It is very critical to keep tire pressure in a good condition when
driving, especially when buses, trucks are carrying people life and
dangerous materials such as poisonous substances, oil, etc.
Reduces labour of tire pressure inspections

V1.0-FB06 (1105232)

Multi-wheel trucks cause time consuming in human inspection in
tire pressure. Goes without saying that no chance to monitor tire
pressure when running. The system can have a very clear picture of
tire pressure status among all tires.
Not adds much maintenance cost
Advanced designs to give the best convenience to all drivers by
wireless/ cordless design, external sensors, etc.
Less downtime
Real time monitoring gives you highly control of your tire pressure
and temperature and avoid unexpected accidents caused from
abnormal tire pressure and temperature.
Reduces fuel expense
Fuel efficiency is reduced by one percent for every 3 PSI. of under
inflation. It is for sure that tire pressure is also one of important
factors to save gas consumption.
Extends tire life
Research finds that running tires 20% under – inflation can reduce
tire life by up to 50%. It is crucial to keep tire pressure at a right
level (right tire pressure figures for each tire normally suggested by
your car manufacturer).
Increases return on investment
Concludes advantages mentioned above, by taking care of tire
pressure with simple Tire Pressure Monitor System, gains are much
more than what you expect.
