LiftMaster@ LMHNTG Vehicle RFID Hang Tag User Manual
UHF RFID Tag Mounting Instructions
LiftMaster Proprietary RFID Tags must be used with LiftMaster RFID Long Range Reader (LMSC1000). The tags are high-performance radio frequency identification devices. They have been designed to be installed on the interior (LMHNTG/SPLMHNTG LiftMaster RFID Hang Tag and LMUNTG/ SPLMUNTG LiftMaster Dual-Purpose RFID Tag [Windshield/Headlamp]) or exterior of the vehicle (LMUNTG/SPLMUNTG LiftMaster Dual-Purpose RFID Tag [Windshield/Headlamp]). LMUNTG Tag can be installed on surfaces that are made of glass, plastic, or fiberglass.
When mounted on the windshield, these tags are designed to not interfere with the vision of the driver. Installation of the LMUNTG is critical, as when installed properly the tags are designed to not interfere or obstruct the headlamp’s beam per United States DOT specifications. Additionally, the LMUNTG offers an unmatched level of security as their design does not allow them to be removed or transferred once mounted to the vehicle. All LiftMaster tags have been tested to withstand a variety of environmental conditions such as UV exposure, vibration, temperature, and humidity cycles. Tags have been engineered for the rigors of automotive use but handled carefully during the installation process.
NOTE:
Please consult your local and state vehicle ordinances to determine the allowable mounting locations for this type of tag. Due to the wide variance in windshield design, this document is intended as a general guide and is not inclusive of all vehicle makes and models. This document serves to supply only general guidelines for the correct handling and installation of tags.
Choosing a Proper Tag Mounting Location
For optimum performance, the LMUNTG/SPLMUNTG LiftMaster Dual-Purpose RFID Tag (Windshield/Headlamp) must be installed on a windshield location or other suitable mounting point that faces the RFID reader during normal driving. Hang Tags (LMHNTG) should be attached to your rearview mirror for best results.
RFID Tag Mounting – Windshield
The diagrams below show suitable mounting locations for windshield RFID tags. Choose a tag mounting location that meets your local vehicle code and is at least 2.5″ (6.4 cm) from any materials containing metal. This includes the vehicle roof line, side pillars, and rearview mirror mounting block. Make sure that the tag is not behind any metallic surface or darkened trim around the window. For LMHNTG, hang from the rearview mirror.
LMUNTG Dual-Purpose Vehicle RFID Tag Windshield Installation
Step 1 – Make sure that the intended mounting surface is clean and free of any contaminants. Step 2 – Transfer the tag to the location on the vehicle that you have determined suitable for your application. NOTE: Handle the tag with care during installation. Do not excessively bend or distort the tag when removing it from the liner. Step 3 – Smooth out the tag to ensure complete adhesion and remove any air pockets. It is best to apply the tag by the edges as shown in the picture to the right. NOTE: Once the tag has been mounted, do not attempt to remove the tag. This will damage the tag and the tag will become inoperable.
NOTE:
Care should be given when mounting tags onto windows or headlamp lenses containing conductive coatings or embedded radio antennas. These are often found on high-end vehicles. These can reduce the range or block RFID from working altogether.
LMUNTG Dual-Purpose Vehicle RFID Tag Headlamp Installation
For optimum performance, the RFID tag must be installed on the headlight lens or other suitable mounting location that is facing the RFID reader during normal driving.
Choose a mounting location for the tag at least 2″ (5 cm) from any materials containing metal and approximately 2.5″ (6.4 cm) from the bottom reflector.

Tag Handling and Installation
Step 1 – Make sure that the intended mounting surface is clean and free of any contaminants. NOTE: Handle the tags with care during installation. Do not excessively bend or distort the tag when removing it from the liner. Step 2 – Transfer the tag to the location on the vehicle that you have determined suitable for your application. It is best to apply the tag by the edges as shown in the picture below. Step 3 – Smooth out the tag to ensure complete adhesion and remove any air pockets.
NOTE:
Once the tag has been mounted, do not attempt to remove the tag, this will damage the tag and it will become inoperable.
Alternative Mounting
If mounting to the vehicle’s headlamp is not feasible, you may also choose to mount the tag on other plastic surfaces, such as the vehicle’s bumper, valance, or side mirror. Many of the preceding guidelines will still apply and the tag must still be mounted a minimum of 2″ (5 cm) from any metal structures. This includes any metal structures behind the bumper, such as metal grilles, bumper mounts, or the vehicle’s frame.
Cure Time
Once the tag has been installed on the vehicle, there will be a period of time necessary to allow the tag’s adhesive to cure. Due to temperature and humidity variations, the total cure time may vary. Most applications will experience an 80% cure of the adhesive within 1 hour and a full adhesive cure within 24 hours of application. Please do not wash the area where the tag is installed or disturb the tag for 24 hours after installation.
Programming Your LiftMaster Tags into LiftMaster Cloud
When adding a new credential in LiftMaster Cloud, go to the credentials tab, click “Add new credentials” and when selecting type, choose RFID_Tags_LiftMaster. Please note, there is a section option for installations that have a Non-LiftMaster Branded RFID system. If the RFID system is anything other than LiftMaster reader (LMSC1000) or LiftMaster RFID tags (LMUNTG/ SPLMUNTG or LMHNTG/SPLMHNTG), follow the steps above, except when the drop-down menu step comes up, choose RFID_Tags_Other_Mfgs.
LMUNTG LiftMaster Dual-Purpose RFID Tag – Removal
- Gently peel the top layer of the RFID tag from the vehicle surface, the adhesive and antenna tag layer should remain on the vehicle and is a function of the tag’s security.
- Generously spray a mild glass cleaner on the adhesive layer and let it soak in for around 10-20 seconds.
- Using a microfiber towel or cloth, rub the adhesive with the towel in a circular motion. The adhesive should pull up in a similar manner to rubber cement.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all of the adhesive is removed.
