Binding the Transceiver
The binding process locks” the Sensor and a transceiver together so that they listen only to
each other.
Since the Sensor has eight model memories, it is possible that your Sensor will be used to
communicate with eight transceivers. You must therefore perform the binding process once for
each transceiver that will communicate with your Sensor.
Note that the Sensor cannot communicate with all of the transceivers at the same time, but
rather the Sensor will communicate only with the transceiver associated with the Sensor’s
currently active model. For more information, see Managing Models later in this instruction
manual.
How the Binding Process Works
The binding process is set in motion by depressing the bind button on the transceiver when
the Sensor is in bind mode. The transceiver broadcasts an inquiry message, indicating that it
is looking for a Sensor to bind to.
The Sensor responds back to the transceiver, indicating its I D number (for example, the
Sensor I D may be 123456789). The transceiver responds back to the Sensor, indicating its
own VIN number (for example, the VIN may be 987654321). After that, the binding process is
complete.
