PocketPass™
Installation Instructions
16-0046-001 Rev D 10/16
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 aecting tag performance.

Installation Locations for PocketPass
PocketPass should be mounted on the interior windshield, with the longest side parallel to the bottom of the
windshield. Other tags should be kept at least 3 inches away from the PocketPass. The area on the dashboard
beneath the PocketPass must be kept clear of paperwork and metallic items.

center of the windshield as possible; at least 3 inches away from the windshield frame or dashboard, and
above the windshield wipers (Figure 3).

Installation with Dual Lock Strips
1. Clean and dry the interior windshield surface completely before axing the Dual Lock strips. The
windshield temperature must be at least 68ºF (20ºC) for optimum bonding.
2. Peel the backing o the Dual Lock strips to expose adhesive (Figure 5). Leave both sides of the Dual Lock
strips pressed together to ensure the strips will align between the PocketPass and windshield. Apply the
PocketPass to the windshield using moderate pressure.
Note: When installing the PocketPass using Dual Lock strips for the first time, leave it in place for at
least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to cure.
3. To remove a PocketPass mounted with Dual Lock strips from the windshield, grip the case at the top and
bottom sides. Pull the PocketPass away from the windshield, starting on one end and working until the
PocketPass is free from the windshield (Figure 6).

PocketPass Battery Replacement
Two lithium AAA batteries are pre-installed in your PocketPass.
NOTE: For proper operation, the PocketPass requires lithium batteries. TransCore recommends
Energizer® Advanced Lithium AAA batteries.
To replace the batteries, remove the PocketPass from the windshield as described in Step 3 on page 4.
1. Hold the PocketPass with the LED side facing down. Locate the battery door. Press the indentation located
under the arrow and slide the door in the direction of the arrow to open the door.
2. Remove the old batteries and replace them with lithium AAA batteries according to the diagram on the
inside of the battery compartment (Figure 7).
3. Close the cover and slide it back into place. You should hear a soft snap when the cover is in the correct
position.
4. Immediately after you install fresh batteries, a brief audio/visual sequence will occur as the PocketPass
powers up. Refer to the Ready to Go section in Table 1 for a description of the audio/visual signals. If there
is an ASTM V6 AV code stored, the sequence may take up to 15 minutes to complete.
5. Reinstall the PocketPass on the windshield by pressing it back onto the Dual Lock strips.
