For optimal performance, tilt and rotate the reader into a position so that the front side
of the reader is parallel with the front side of the ID-tag to be read. Align the reader so
that the actual reading range is 60–70% of the specified maximum.
The figure below shows a typical reader installation. Note that the installation details

How to mount the ID-tag depends on the type of tag and which object that is being
tagged. TagMaster’s windshield ID-tag should be mounted in a horizontal position in
the windshield. Note that some cars have a metallized windshield. The ID-tag must be
mounted in an area of the windshield without metallization.’
Never mount the reader close to, and directly facing, a large metal area.
