W arnings
The 3D-iD Tags are water and shock resist ant. However,
immersion, high-pressure washing, or extreme force can
damage the Tags.
When installing the Tags, keep in mind that met allic object s and
other radio absorbers and deflectors will hinder the performance of the Tags.
The Tags may be washed with alcohol, diluted bleach, and
diluted ammonia. Harsher solutions may cause damage
to the Tag s exterior or seal.
Changes and modifications not expressely approved by
PinPoint Corporation could void the user s authority to

About Tags
The 3D-iD Tags are the items tracked by the Cell Controller
and the Antennas - the components of the PinPoint
System. They are af fixed to assets or personnel
enabling the 3D-iD system to secure, locate, and track
those resources. The Tags receive 2.442GHz radio signals which are generated by the Cell Controller. They
add their unique serial number to the signal and transflect the signal back to the Antenna at 5.77GHz. The
Cell Controller measures
the delay between when
the signal was sent and
when it was received, generating Tag-Antenna
Dist ance (TAD) dat a.
