FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why can t I read the sensor data successfully? The communication between the sensor and smart tablet is called low frequency technology. The communication distance is much shorter than RF. Normally it only transmits data in 0.5. So, make sure the tablet is close enough to read sensor data successfully. Why doesn t my tablet turn on? Press the power button one time to turn the display on. If the tablet was switched off completely, you will need to switch the system on by holding the power button down for three seconds. If this doesn t work, check if the battery is out of power and plug in the power cable to charge it. Why can t I see the sensor ID in the data read from the transceiver? Because of the system memory design, the sensor ID is not included in the data pack from the transceiver to the tablet. Sensor ID is only available if the data is read from the sensor directly (By single sensor or walking around). Why can t I see the tire status in some applications? Tire status needs to be determined based on the baseline information and current tire information. This data is only available and configured in the transceiver. The tire status is always available if the sensor data is read from the transceivers. But if the data is from an individual sensor or read by WALK AROUND, the tire status is not able to be determined and displayed. 19

22 Why isn t the system date and time correct? The system date and time will be auto synced to the local time zone once it is connected to the Internet through WIFI connection. You can also manually set the date and time in Android system settings. What should I do if can t remember the passcode? If you forget the passcode to enter the menu, please call Doran customer service: (toll free) for support. 2. TIPS WIFI Connection: As a smart tablet, the device is allowed to connect to a secure WIFI for data communication and system upgrade. To enable WIFI connection, it needs to be configured in the system setting like your smart phone. Go back to the main screen by clicking menu for WIFI connection configuration. at the bottom of the screen. Then enter into the system setting Key Buttons: The physical key buttons on the right side of the device are used to assist the touch screen operation. Use the arrow keys to navigate between the menus and features. The MENU button is used as a back button to the upper level menu. Press and hold MENU for three seconds to bring you back to the main menu. Power Consumption: With integration of RF function, it consumes more power than a standard tablet. But it should fill a full day working load. The display will be switched off in 5 minutes without any operation to save power. To manually switch off the screen, just press the power button one time. Over night charge is recommended in order to keep enough battery to work the next day. 3.
