Dispose of the used battery according to local safety requirements. 7DJ 3ODFHPHQW Savi Technology recommends that you mount the SaviTag ST-654 on a flat surface, with the tag’s longitudinal axis aligned vertically. For optimal radio communication, place the SaviTag ST-654 as high as possible, safe from impact (for example, between the ribs of an ISO-type shipping container), and away from obstructions on the asset.

6HQVLWLYH 7DSH If it is not possible or practical to use screws or rivets, you can use pressure sensitive tape (PST) to attach a SaviTag ST-654. The only brand of PST that Savi Technology recommends for mounting SaviTags is 3M Corporation’s Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape.

Once a mounting sleeve is fastened to an asset, you can leave it on the asset even after the SaviTag ST-654 is removed so it is available for future use with other compatible SaviTags. Prior to re-use, visually inspect the PST-mounted sleeve to make sure it is attached securely.
