Zusammenfassung:A method and an apparatus for preparing a tire target surface (40) for installation of an electronic device (34) such as a transponder apparatus of the type comprising a transponder housing and an antenna is disclosed. The method includes the steps: identifying a tire target surface (40) having a footprint configured to receive the electronic device (34) thereagainst; positioning the tire target surface (40) in an accessible relationship to cleaning apparatus (42); and actuating the cleaning apparatus (42) to substantially eliminate undesired surface agents from the tire target surface (40). Relative movement between the cleaning apparatus (42) and the tire target surface (40) may be initiated to create the desired target surface shape, such as an annular configuration, and to facilitate a substantial purging of undesired surface agents from substantially all of the tire target surface (40).
