Transponder Tips:
-
Transponders should be mounted on the underside of the helmet visor.
-
The transponder needs to be at least an inch away from the rider’s body.
-
Helmets with metallic paint may cause interference; therefore, ensure that an AMRA official inspects your transponder mounting location.
-
Handle the transponder carefully before mounting to prevent damage to the antenna.
-
Cloth tape (no metal) can be used over the transponder to ensure adhesion to the helmet visor.
