6. Never clean a TPM sensor/transmitter with compressed air or
steam. Damage to the sensor/transmitter may result.
7. The cap on the valve stem or a TPM sensor/transmitter frequently
contains a O-ring to prevent contamination and moisture from
entering. Be sure to retain this cap for reuse.
8. Strong radio waves may interfere with the proper operation of some
TPM systems.
9. Snow, ice or mud in the wheel wells and tire chains mounted on the
tires may cause a TPM system to malfunction.
10. Check that the vehicle’s ignition is Off and that its parking brake is
properly set.
11. Do all testing in a well-ventilated area.
12. Do not smoke or allow sparks or open flame near fuel system parts.
13. Do not smoke or allow open flame near a battery.

●
CAUTION – General Operating Precautions
1. Keep OmiDetect away from metal objects, such as clamps, wheel
alignment or other tire/wheel equipment, since they will impede
OmiDetect’s ability to receive a good RF signal from a TPM sensor.
2. Keep OmiDetect away from any known RF transmitters, such as
mobile phones and other RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitters.
Signals received from these devices could result in the incorrect RF
signal being detected.
●
Caution – Misdiagnosis may lead to incorrect or improper
adjustment and/or repair.
1. Do not rely on erratic, questionable or obviously erroneous test
information or results. If test information or results are erratic,
questionable or obviously erroneous, verify that the test procedure
was performed correctly. If test information or results are still
suspicious, do not use them for diagnosis.
Improper adjustment or repair may cause equipment damage or
unsafe operation.
