4.2 Installing External Sensors
The system includes two external sensors, labeled 'FW' for the front wheel and 'RW' for the rear wheel. Install them as follows:
- Ensure your tires are at the recommended pressure before installation for accurate baseline readings.
- Unscrew the original valve caps from your motorcycle's tire valves.
- Screw the 'FW' sensor onto the front tire's valve stem and the 'RW' sensor onto the rear tire's valve stem. Tighten them using the provided wrench to prevent theft and ensure a secure seal.
- The sensors will automatically begin transmitting data to the display unit once installed and the motorcycle is in motion or the system is powered on.
Note: The sensors are designed to be anti-theft and waterproof. Ensure they are properly tightened.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Display Overview
The LCD display provides comprehensive information at a glance:
- Front Tire Pressure (FW): Displays the current pressure of the front tire.
- Rear Tire Pressure (RW): Displays the current pressure of the rear tire.
- Front Tire Temperature (FW): Displays the current temperature of the front tire.
- Rear Tire Temperature (RW): Displays the current temperature of the rear tire.
- Slope Display: Indicates the vehicle's inclination.
- Time Display: Shows the current time.
- Battery Indicators: Shows battery levels for the display unit and sensors.

5.2 Button Functions
The display unit features several buttons for navigation and settings:
- 'M' Button: Typically used to enter menu settings or confirm selections.
- Up Arrow Button: Used to increase values or navigate upwards in menus.
- Down Arrow Button: Used to decrease values or navigate downwards in menus.
- Power Button: Used to power the unit on/off.
Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific button functions during setup or alarm conditions.
5.3 Real-Time Monitoring and Alarms
The system continuously monitors tire data. In case of abnormal pressure or temperature, the display will provide real-time warning feedback, often accompanied by an audible alarm and flashing screen prompts. This includes warnings for:
- Low tire pressure
- High tire pressure
- High tire temperature
- Rapid air leakage

6. Maintenance
- Waterproof Cover: Always ensure the charging port's waterproof cover is securely closed, especially before washing the motorcycle or riding in rain, to maintain the IP67 rating.
- Cleaning: Clean the display unit and sensors with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Sensor Battery: The external sensors are designed for long battery life. If a sensor stops transmitting, check its battery. Replacement instructions for external sensor batteries are typically found in the detailed product manual or by contacting support.
- Storage: If storing the motorcycle for an extended period, ensure the display unit is fully charged and stored in a dry, cool place.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/Unit won't power on | Low battery; Power cable disconnected; Unit faulty. | Charge the unit; Check power cable connection; Contact support if issue persists. |
| Sensors not displaying data | Sensors not installed correctly; Sensor battery low/dead; Interference; Sensors not paired. | Ensure sensors are tightly screwed on; Replace sensor battery (if applicable); Move away from strong electromagnetic fields; Refer to pairing instructions (if available in full manual). |
| Inaccurate pressure/temperature readings | Sensors not calibrated; External factors (extreme heat/cold); Sensor malfunction. | Verify tire pressure with a known accurate gauge before installing sensors; Allow sensors to equilibrate; Contact support if readings remain consistently inaccurate. |
| Unit does not shut off automatically | Specific design behavior; Power setting. | Manually power off the unit using the power button if automatic shutdown is not observed. |
| "Slope" reading unclear | This feature indicates the vehicle's inclination. | The slope display provides information on the motorcycle's lean angle or incline. No action is typically required unless it indicates an extreme or unexpected value. |
| Missing mounting hardware (screws) | Packaging error. | Contact OBEST customer support immediately for replacement parts. |
