Quick Start Guide
If you have had a friend or dealer install the TireMinder® system, read from section 9 forward in the main instruction manual.
This is important, mandatory READING!!
If you are installing the system we strongly recommend using the main instruction manual.
However, we know how most people feel about reading instructions and to this end we have written this “Quick Start Guide.”
If you don’t understand the “Quick Start,” go to the cross referenced section in the main book
or simply call the great people at Minder Research for help (772-463-6522).
The Monitor
The monitor should be partially charged so you may start programming right away. Press and release
the
center button
to turn it on. If the unit does not light up immediately, simply plug it into a live 12 volt
power outlet using the cigarette lighter adaptor or the USB cable to any USB port.
STEP ONE:
Convert Monitor to “Pressure Setting Mode”
A. From the “Monitoring Mode,” press & hold the
center button
for 5 seconds. The left front steering tire
will appear (reading 115.9 psi) If you will be monitoring this position, continue below.
B. If you wish to skip this position, simply press and release the
center button
until you get to a tire position you plan on using.
C. Press
DN or UP
button until your desired baseline pressure is displayed.
When you reach your desired pressure, press the
center button
to confirm and move to next tire
position. Repeat “B” and “C” above for all tire positions to be monitored.
After all baselines have been set, you MUST EXIT. Press & hold the
center button
for 5 or 6 seconds.
Display will “beep” and revert to the “Monitoring Mode.”
STEP TWO:
Battery Installation
Your monitor is now ready to receive information from each transmitter. In order for this
to happen, you will need to install CR1632 lithium batteries.
DO NOT ATTACH THE TRANSMITTERS TO THE VALVE STEMS (YET)!!!!
STEP THREE:
Convert Monitor to “Learn Mode”
From “Monitoring Mode,”
press and hold
DN and UP buttons
simultaneously. When you see all
22 tire positions, release the buttons.
The front left tire position will flash with RED LED illuminated and a “- - - PSI.”
If you plan on
monitoring this position, proceed below. If not, press the
UP button
and scroll to the first tire position.
Mount any transmitter (FINALLY!!!!) at the flashing location indicated on the screen. LED will turn
GREEN and the PSI will be displayed within 30 seconds. If the screen has gone dark (at any time),
simply press and release the
center button
to see the numbers.
If synchronization is not achieved (light stays red), remove the transmitter for 10 seconds and re-mount. It’s also a good idea to
have the receiver close by with
ANTENNA FULLY EXTENDED.
Press the
DN or UP button
to move to the next tire position.
TIP: Unlearned positions will have a red LED with a “- - - PSI” at the top.
Repeat above until all transmitters are mounted. Be sure to mount the transmitters at the same positions programmed in the
“Pressure Setting Mode
.”
You MUST EXIT after the last transmitter has been mounted.
Press and hold
DN and UP buttons
simultaneously until the 22 tires disappear.
At this point you should only see the number of tire positions which have transmitters installed (4, 6, 8, etc).
All other positions will have disappeared. The monitor is now in the “Monitoring Mode.” To see the system
in action, you may now press the
DN or UP button
and scroll through all tire positions.
You need to install the signal booster NOW.
Remember: Antenna Up!
