Daymon,
I also would be interested in getting a copy of the manual for the Datamaster Sport. I purchased one of these guys a couple of months ago on eBay cause I liked it’s looks and was what appeared to be in excellent condition – which it is. Anyway, shortly after receiving it, the ‘low battery’ indicator flashed. Called over to Oceanic where I was told that it was a factory service item and that they had discontinued service on these puppies. Bummer, I thought, but the customer servicve guy at Oceanic did offer a 20% discount towards a newer model ‘computer’. I guess it was a nice offer, but I declined, really wanted to use this early model on an upcoming trip in Aug. to Bonaire (Buddy’s). So, to make a short story even longer, I figured I can probably open this, and I was right. It’s easy if you take your time, be gentle and have the correct size Phillips head so you don’t strip out a head. I found that a 2.0mm phillips fits well. Good light helps also.
There is a good ‘how to change the battery on a Oceanic Datamaster Sport’ on the web, just Google it.
My back-up computer is an Oceanic VT Pro.
All that to ask you if you made copies of the manual?

Hi JR…My name is Mychal McMahon and I am a 26 year old girl living in Oklahoma City. I am interested in knowing more about what you do so I guess I will read your blogs. I would enjoy hearing from you though:)

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work that way. As long as it is up in the window when passing the sensor it shouldn’t matter.

I put the k-tag on my shirt until it was not stickey anymore. As I pass thru the toll I just hold it to the windshield. This has worked for 6 months, until now. On my way from Topeka to KC this morning it didn’t work either time. Do you think if I glued it to a piece of plexiglass and held it up near the windshield while passing thru would work??

I’ve had no problems with either toll system with this setup. It’s nice to be able to use the KTAG in different vehicles, something that can’t be done if it’s stuck to a windshield.

Just wanted to make sure before I did something like this, you haven’t experienced any problem in the months following these posts, have you?

I replaced batteries on my unit as well. I am also looking for a manual. Did you have any luck locating one?
