Binding the Transceiver
The binding process “locks” the Sensor and a t ransceiver together so that they listen only to
each other.
Since the Sensor has eight model memories, it is possible t hat your Sensor w ill be used to
communicate with eight transceivers. You must therefore perform the binding process once for

Note that the Sensor cannot communicate with all of the transceivers at the same time, but

How the Binding Process Works
The binding process is set in mot ion by depressing t he “bind” butt on on the t ransceiver w hen
t he Sensor is in “bind mode.” The transceiver broadcast s an inquiry message, indicat ing t hat it
is looking for a Sensor to bind t o.
The Sensor responds back to the transceiver, indicating it s ID number (for example, the
Sensor ID may be 123456789). The t ransceiver responds back to t he Sensor, indicating its
ow n VIN number (for example, t he VIN may be 987654321). After that, t he binding process is
complete.
