Can ETC devices be attached to the black area?
1 Answers
ETC devices can be installed on the black dotted area of the windshield, as long as they do not obstruct the driver's view and can sense the detection equipment of the toll station. However, installing them outside the black dotted area of the windshield has drawbacks, such as reduced solar charging capability of the ETC device, which may lead to power depletion over time. Correct installation position for ETC: For small vehicles like cars and vans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. ETC installation position requirements: the height should not be less than 1.2 meters or more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane). The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly turn on. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing film of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device.
