After installation, the system operates automatically and continuously.
When monitor power is on and receives tire sensor signals, the display
will show the current tire pressure and temperature. Normally the
green light is turned on. A flashing red light indicates low pressure; all
other abnormal situations will turn on a flashing green light, and the
corresponding tire indicator(s) and the warning icon(s) will appear.
3. 1 Warnings
Upon detection of abnormal tire pressure and/or temperature the
monitor will display one of the following warnings. The display lasts 8
seconds and then will switch to a screen as shown in
Abnormal
Situation Display (described in the next section). For severe warnings
(low pressure and rapid pressure change) the system will also sound
an 8-second alarm.
