2.1 DIMENSIONS
The Boosters are easily mounted to the inside of the car’s windshield by means of suction cups. Users
should ensure the visual contact between the Booster and any TRANSIT reader is unobstructed with
items such as stickers or metallized windshields (see also chapter 2.3 about solar control windshields).
Note that the Booster's suction cups must be faced toward the reader to achieve maximum reading
distance.

2.2 TEMPERATURE
CONSIDERATIONS
The 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 / -4°F to +185°F). However the
personal identification card inserted in the Booster may not be designed to withstand such temperatures
and could suffer damage as a result.
Nedap advises to remove the personal identification 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.

2.3 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 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 transponder should be mounted.
