Base Receiver Installation
The receiver needs an electrical connection to the vehicle 12 volt power and it needs to be
attached somewhere within view of the driver. The power connection may be made with the
power cable supplied with every receiver or by using the gooseneck power adapter.
The only consideration to watch for is that the receiver turns on when the vehicle is started.
When the receiver turns off the last pressure indications are not saved. New data must be
received from the wheel transmitters, i.e. the vehicle must be driven for 5 or more minutes to get
fresh data from all tires.
A bracket with suction cups supplied are intended for the receiver to be mounted on the
windshield in front of the driver. Two Velcro pads supplier enable the receiver to be attached in
other locations convenient to the driver.
