Can ETC be replaced in a different location if it's broken?

[LeRiver]

If you find that your ETC is broken while traveling in a different location, you can have it replaced there. Simply bring your valid ID, vehicle registration, and the original OBU device to a bank ETC service outlet for a free replacement. Be sure to avoid exposing the electronic tag to water, impact, high temperatures, or strong magnetic fields during daily use. ETC devices come in two types: solar-powered and wired charging. Solar-powered ETC devices do not require charging, while wired charging ETC devices need to be charged using a charger. Both types of ETC electronic tags contain internal batteries. Solar-powered ETC devices do not require charging during regular driving, and their lithium batteries typically last about 3 years under normal use. However, for those who use ETC infrequently, it is recommended to charge the ETC device every 3 months to mitigate the effects of natural battery discharge and prolong its lifespan. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, an electronic toll payment system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration (original and copies). If someone else is applying on behalf of the owner, they must also bring their own valid ID. The vehicle registration copy should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, you'll need a bank card for deducting highway tolls, be aged between 18 and 60, and own the vehicle in your name. How ETC works: The onboard electronic tag, installed on the vehicle's windshield, communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This enables seamless toll payment via computerized banking transactions, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by enabling vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping. Reduces wear and tear: Lowers costs by minimizing vehicle start-stop cycles, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy toll discounts. Improves efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically process vehicles 2-3 times faster, making traditional ETC more advanced and efficient. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
