Key Features
- 4-inch LCD Display: Provides clear, large-font readings of tire pressure and temperature for enhanced visibility day and night.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Delivers tire pressure and temperature data with high accuracy (±0.1BAR/±2PSI) and a rapid 0.3-second response time for immediate alerts.
- 5 Monitoring Modes: Includes high-pressure alert (9.8BAR/142PSI), low-pressure alert (1.8BAR/26PSI), high-temperature warning (over 92°C), rapid leak detection, and low battery reminders for both monitor and sensors.
- Dual Charging Options: Supports solar charging during the day and Type-C USB charging at night or on cloudy days, ensuring continuous power.
- Smart Energy Saving: The monitor automatically enters sleep mode after 3 minutes of inactivity. Sensors switch to energy-saving mode, updating every 8 minutes when pressure is stable, but instantly transmit data upon anomaly detection.
- Wide Vehicle Compatibility: Suitable for RVs, trailers, trucks, SUVs, MPVs, and sedans.

Setup and Installation Guide
Follow these steps to install your Flydew TPMS sensors:
- Power On Monitor: Press and hold the power button on the monitor for 3 seconds to turn it on.
- Attach Hex Nuts: Screw the hex nuts onto the valve stems of all four tires.
- Mount Sensors: Mount the sensors onto the valve stems in the correct order: Left Front (LF), Right Front (RF), Left Rear (LR), Right Rear (RR). Ensure they are securely threaded.
- Tighten Nuts: Use the provided wrench to tighten the hex nuts anticlockwise against the sensors. This secures the sensors and prevents loosening.
- Soap Water Test: Apply soapy water around the valve stem and sensor connection to check for any air leaks. No bubbles should appear.

Operation
Monitor Display:
The 4-inch LCD display shows real-time data for all four tires. Key indicators include:
- Tire Pressure: Displayed in PSI or BAR.
- Tire Temperature: Displayed in °F or °C.
- Solar Charging Indicator: Shows when the device is charging via solar panel.
- Internal Car Temperature: Displays the ambient temperature inside the vehicle.
- Battery Level: Indicates the monitor's battery status.

Also shown are the dimensions of the monitor and a sensor, highlighting the built-in sensor chip and fine air tightness.
Power On/Off:
- Power On: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds.
- Power Off: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds.
- Auto-Sleep: The monitor will automatically enter sleep mode after 3 minutes of inactivity to conserve power.
- Wake-Up: The monitor will instantly wake up upon detecting engine vibration or a touch.
Monitoring Modes and Alerts
The Flydew TPMS provides comprehensive alerts to ensure tire safety:
- High-Pressure Alert: Triggers if tire pressure exceeds 9.8 BAR (142 PSI).
- Low-Pressure Alert: Triggers if tire pressure drops below 1.8 BAR (26 PSI).
- High-Temperature Warning: Activates if tire temperature exceeds 92°C (197.6°F).
- Rapid Leak Detection: Alerts immediately upon detecting a sudden and significant drop in tire pressure.
- Low Battery Reminders: Notifies when the monitor or sensor batteries are low, prompting for recharge or replacement.
Charging the Monitor
The monitor offers two convenient charging methods:
- Solar Charging: Place the monitor on your dashboard where it can receive direct sunlight. The built-in solar panel will charge the device during the day.
- Type-C USB Charging: For charging at night, on cloudy days, or when solar charging is insufficient, connect the monitor using the provided Type-C USB cable to a suitable power source (e.g., car charger, USB port).
Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the monitor screen and sensors with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Sensor Check: Periodically check that the sensors are securely tightened on the valve stems. Re-perform the soap water test if you suspect a leak.
- Battery Monitoring: Pay attention to low battery alerts for both the monitor and sensors. Recharge the monitor promptly and consider replacing sensor batteries if they are user-replaceable (refer to sensor specific instructions if applicable).
- Storage: If storing the vehicle or TPMS for an extended period, ensure the monitor is fully charged and stored in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor not powering on | Low battery; Power button not held long enough. | Charge the monitor via Type-C cable. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. |
| No tire data displayed / Sensors not connecting | Sensors not installed correctly; Sensor battery low; Interference; Monitor out of range. | Ensure sensors are securely installed and tightened. Check for low sensor battery alerts. Move monitor closer to sensors if possible. Re-pair sensors if necessary (refer to specific pairing instructions in the full manual). |
| Inaccurate pressure readings (e.g., uniformly low) | Calibration issue; Sensor malfunction. | Verify tire pressure with a reliable gauge. If readings are consistently off by a fixed amount, note the offset. If a single sensor is consistently inaccurate, it may need replacement. |
| Air leakage around sensors | Sensors or hex nuts not tightened properly. | Re-tighten sensors and hex nuts. Perform a soap water test to confirm seal. |
| Monitor not charging via solar | Insufficient sunlight; Solar panel obstructed. | Ensure the solar panel is clean and exposed to direct sunlight. Use Type-C charging as an alternative. |
