Kapsch TrafficCom IVHS Front Mount Exterior (FME) Transponder Mounting Instructions for passenger vehicles The FME transponder is recommended for passenger vehicles when the interior transponder cannot be used. The preferred mounting location is on the front license plate using the existing license plate mounting screws while the alternate mounting location is on the front bumper using 3M™ Dual Lock™ fasteners. Preferred FME location: front license plate 1. Remove the two upper license plate mounting screws securing the license plate to the front of the vehicle. 2. Using the license plate mounting screws removed in step 1, secure the transponder, with arrows pointing skyward, and the license plate to the front of the vehicle. Requirements  For reliable operation of the transponder, the vehicle must be equipped with only one correctly mounted transponder while passing through a toll facility. Other transponders present in or on the vehicle must be switched off or enclosed in an RF shield.  FME transponders must be mounted in the location for which they were programmed. FME transponders programmed for License Plate must be mounted on the front of the vehicle. FME transponders programmed for Rooftop must be mounted on the roof.  The mounting location must provide direct line-of-sight communication between the transponder and the toll facility’s overhead antenna.  FME transponders cannot be used where local regulations prohibit externally mounting transponders on the roof of the vehicle, the front license plate, front bumper, or other external surfaces.  The presence of certain classes of front impact-absorbing materials used in the construction of the vehicle may affect the operation of the FME transponder. The mounting location must be free of such materials.  Apply Dual Lock™ fasteners in accordance with 3M™ document 70-0709-4029-4. license plate mounting screw orientation arrow (pointing skyward) FME Mounted on License Plate
