Use of DataDots

DataDots can be quickly and easily applied to almost any item or surface. Recommended, but not limited to are: personal asset items, business asset items, motorcycle parts, automobile parts, watercraft parts, etc.

Placements of DataDots

Please use the following guidelines when applying DataDots to your assets:

  1. Areas not exposed to excessive wear, but in low usage or seldom handled areas
  2. Do not apply DataDots where it will interfere with any mechanical movements
  3. Areas not exposed to excessive road grit, grease, etc.
  4. For better viewing of dots, apply dots side by side and not on top of each other or overlapping. Spread Dots out a little with the brush

REMEMBER: DATADOTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR HIGHLY VISABLE OR COSMETICALLY IMPORTANT AREAS!

Preparation

The DataDot system is easy to use. Simply decide where you are going to mark your assets with DataDots. Make sure the asset is clean from grease and dirt*. To make life difficult for the thief, hide most of the DataDots, but leave a few in obvious places that can be easily seen.

How to Apply DataDots
  1. Shake container vigorously before opening. Unscrew lid, place applicator brush in adhesive until you can see the number of DataDots you want to mark the item with. (If there is too much adhesive on brush, wipe some off on inside of container.)
  2. Dab the brush gently on the surface of the item to be marked until Dots and Adhesive remain on item. This will leave a small dab of adhesive containing the DataDots. Allow 30 minutes for the adhesive/DataDot mixture to become tack free. Fully cures in 48 hours. Adhesive dries nearly clear and its ultraviolet properties aid detection.
  3. Several markings can often be obtained from one brush full. To replenish the brush, replace brush back into container and repeat the process.
  4. We recommend recoating marked areas with the excess adhesive. Additional layers of adhesive aid in protecting the Dots from the harsh elements and make it more difficult for thieves to remove the DataDots.
Warning labels

This pack contains self-adhesive warning labels which clearly indicate that your property is protected with DataDots and hence "Too Hot to Handle". Use these at your discretion, but please ensure that they are all clearly visible on or near the treated
item(s).
