VI. FAQs AND TIPS
1. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY DID THE MONITOR 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 360OTR sensors are required to accomplish the difficult task of
transmitting a low power FCC approved signal from vehicle tires to the monitor. First,
verify that the sensor has been programmed correctly. If the sensor is programmed
correctly, the vehicle could be in what is known as a “Dead Zone” and the signal cannot
transmit properly to the monitor. Check the surroundings (pole barn siding, metal fence,
side of a building, etc.). Moving the vehicle just a few feet can sometimes overcome this
problem. Note, the sensor can be removed and re-installed to facilitate the sensor’s
transmission to the monitor. Otherwise, the sensor should transmit to the monitor in 8
minutes or less. If the optional signal booster or remote antenna kit is being used,
reposition the booster or remote antenna for a possible better reception.
WHY DOESN’T MY MONITOR TURN ON?
Verify the fuse on all power lines is not blown. If needed, replace the fuse with a 2 amp
fast-blow fuse. Be sure the ignition switch is on.
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 Means Good™ indicator 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.
(Black box products don’t have audible alert or Green Means Good™ indicator light.)
WHAT IF THE GREEN LED ON THE MONITOR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE?
The Green Means Good™ indicator light will not illuminate if there are issues with the
programmed sensors or if there is an active alarm. Review the information on the
display and verify that the baseline pressure settings are correct (“Black Box” products
do not have a Green Means Good™ indicator light). The Green Means Good™
indicator light will also not illuminate if a sensor is programmed but has not yet sent an
activation signal.
CAN THE MONITOR BE USED INDEPENDENTLY ON VEHICLE ONLY, TRAILER
ONLY, OR TOW VEHICLE ONLY?
Yes – See the Drop and Hook Instructions on page 19.
