You can remove the card and reinsert it into the device. For a debit card device, it will display 'card' or 'debit card,' while a stored-value card device will show the balance, indicating normal status. Additionally, when passing through an ETC lane, a beep sound signifies successful deduction of the fee, and the barrier automatically rises, confirming normal operation. Benefits of Installing ETC: Saves time by eliminating the need to queue and wait. Environmentally friendly, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution. Reduces wear and tear and saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improves efficiency, as ETC lanes theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. How ETC Works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, computer networking technology is used for backend settlement processing with banks. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees.
