The FOBO TIRE 2 In-Car unit is a complex device that performs multiple functions.
Due to the shielding effect of the car chassis, some drivers may face difficulty in
receiving the tire sensor signals on their smartphone when sitting inside the car. This
problem may be further aggravated when the driver places the smartphone in
positions that are not optimal such as trouser pocket or waist pouch. The In-Car unit
is designed with an efficient antenna that can pick up sensor signals up to 10dB better
than a usual smartphone. With the In-Car unit, you can be assured of a good signal
reception from the tire sensors.
The In-Car unit is designed to be placed anywhere inside the car, please do not
remove it from the car. In order for FOBO TIRE 2 to functions optimally, please
ensure that the In-Car unit remains inside the car.
Note that In-Car unit is not water-proof
. The best location to place the In-Car unit
will be to affix it on the lower dashboard position but away from direct sunlight. Use
the Velcro double side tape provided in the packaging to secure the In-Car unit. Do
not enclose the In-Car unit inside any metal compartment or box. This will cause the
In-Car unit unable to receive signals from tire sensors.
To conserve battery life, the In-Car unit will go into ‘sleep’ mode after it detects that
the vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes. It will ‘wake up’ once it
detects that the vehicle moves. You can still receive your tire pressure and
temperature data by accessing the FOBO Tire 2 App on the smartphone, even when
the In-Car unit is asleep. This is due to FOBO TIRE 2 sensors continuous operation
of 24 x 7 which allows you to receive an alert even when you are not driving the car.
The In-Car unit will also synchronize with your smartphone with your settings that
you have changed every time it wakes up. For any changed settings in the App, it will
only be synchronized during the next In-Car unit wake up cycle. Alternatively you
can long press on the side button of In-Car unit until you hear a beep, in order to put
the In-Car unit into synchronization mode with the smartphone App.
The In-Car unit is also designed to be a secondary alert device in the event of a
deflated tire. This is to cover situations when you do not have your smartphone with
