and so on. To obtain a good first-time read, the front edge of
the handheld reader needs to be within 3.5 to 12 feet
(approximately 1.1 to 3.7 meters) of the tag.

Note: Windshield sticker-type tags are designed for optimal
performance when mounted to a windshield. Tags that are not
mounted to glass will not perform to the specifications listed in this
guide.
