Temperature considerations
The LEGIC Booster is designed to operate within the extreme temperature ranges, which often occur behind a vehicle’s
windshield during the winter or summer seasons (-20°C to +85°C). However the LEGIC card inserted in the LEGIC
Booster may not be designed to withstand such temperatures and could suffer damage as a result. Nedap advises to
remove the LEGIC card when not in use.
Caution: Do not leave card in access device when leaving the vehicle, as this presents a security risk.
Caution: Do not leave card in access device for long periods of time in extreme heat, as this may damage the card.

Solar control windshields
From 1997 onwards several car manufacturers introduced vehicles with solar control windshields. The solar control
windshields are equipped with a metalized coating, which can block the TRANSIT signal from the LEGIC Booster
mounted on the inside of the windshield of the vehicle.
Most of these windshields have a metal free zone where transponders can be mounted. The metal free zone of
metalized windshields is most often found in the middle of the windshield behind and slightly below the rear view
mirror. In vehicles manufactured after 1998 the metal free zone should be indicated on the window.
We advise the owner to contact the local car dealer if it is not clear where the aperture is exactly positioned in a certain
vehicle and where the LEGIC Booster should be mounted.
