VI. FAQS AND TIPS
1. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DOES THE MONITOR NEED TO BE POWERED BY A LIGHTER ACCESSORY?
No. In fact you will loose some of the benefits of the 360RV if the monitor is wired in this method.
If a hard wire option is utilized the end user then will benefit from the sleep mode option that the
system incorporates. This will allow alarms to be received by the monitor but will not allow the
monitor to display them or allow the audible alarm to sound until the ignition switch is turned to
the
ON
position. This way the people are not disturbed during an inconvenient time, but does
allow for the alarm to be received before the vehicle is moved.
WHY DID I FAIL TO GET A SIGNAL FROM A SENSOR DURING INSTALLATION?
Higher radio frequency (RF) transmissions travel mostly via straight lines and along line-of-sight
pathways. The 360RV sensors are required to accomplish the difficult task of transmitting a low
power FCC approved signal from vehicles' tires to the monitor. If a sensor fails to be recognized,
move the monitor slightly. The vehicle could be in what is known as a
Dead Zone
this is
where the signal is not able to travel because of its surroundings (pole barn siding, metal fence,
side of a building). Moving the vehicle just a few feet can sometimes overcome this problem. The
sensor will need to be removed and re-installed to activate the sensor for it to report quickly to the
monitor. If you are using an optional signal booster kit, reposition the booster for a possible better
reception.
WHY DOESN'T MY MONITOR TURN ON?
If the monitor only turns on when the vehicle is running, a
switched
cigarette lighter receptacle is
powering it. A red LED will light on the plug when it receives power. Check fuse in the end of the
lighter accessory plug and if needed, replace with a 2 amp fast-blow fuse. If you have hard wired
the system to the vehicle, be sure the ignition switch is on and check to see if either of the fuses
that were installed inline has blown. Replace all fuses with a 2-amp slow-blow fuse.
HOW DO I MUTE THE AUDIBLE ALERT?
Press any button after the alert sounds. This will put the alert in the
Quiet Mode
. The green light
will have turned off, the alert will be displayed on the screen, and the backlight will be lit. This will
continue until the alarm has been corrected.
WHAT IF THE GREEN LIGHT ON MONITOR DOES NOT LIGHT?
If the green light on monitor does not come on it will signify that something is not correct with the
settings that were input during setup to the monitor. Review the information on the display and if
a proper air pressure is being displayed be sure that the baseline for the displayed wheel position
was entered correctly.
