
Plane
Vertical orientation is desired, aim the antenna at a spot down
the road from the gate where you want to start reading tags.
From this spot forward, the detection area will increase as you
get closer to the gate. The tags must be vertically oriented for
optimum read range. The Windshield tag must be mounted on
windshield glass for optimum read range.

Installation
Ensure the Tag is mounted in a vertical position for optimum
read range. Windshield sticker should be 2 inches away from any
metal posts on all sides. Prior to installation, make certain the
desired location complies with all state and local vehicle codes/
laws. Caution: some windshield contain metal so an exterior tag
should be used.
