Installation Instructions

PocketPass is designed for mounting to a vehicle's interior windshield surface using
3M™ Dual Lock™ strips. This mounting method provides for easy mounting and removal
when portability is needed.

General Instructions and Guidelines

Proper Handling Prior to Installation

IMPORTANT: Prior to installation by the end user, PocketPass should be stored in the shielded bags and/or
packaging provided by TransCore. Failure to properly store tags will result in shortened battery life.

Metallized Windshield

Some vehicle windshields contain a metallic treatment that could prevent an interior windshield-mounted
device from working correctly. If you have a vehicle with a metalized windshield, contact your local customer
service center for more information. If your vehicle’s metalized windshield has a metal-free zone, it is typically
located near the rear view mirror.

Windshield Band

Some windshields have a solid or dotted black frit band around the edges of the windshield. The frit band
protects the windshield mounting materials from the sun and ultra-violet rays. The PocketPass may be placed
behind this band if necessary without aecting tag performance.
