How to Handle an Expired ETC Device?
1 Answers
There are several methods to handle an expired ETC device: 1. Bring the expired ETC card to the issuing bank; 2. Apply for reactivation of the ETC card by filling out an application form; 3. Once the application is approved, activate the ETC card, and it can be used normally after successful activation. The reasons for ETC card expiration include self-removal or relocation of the OBU device, depleted battery, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., all of which can cause the ETC to expire and become invalid. It is normal for an ETC to display as an expired card during the application process, and it does not affect activation. Pressing the anti-tamper switch on the back of the ETC device will briefly light up a red LED, and the OLED display will show "ETC tag invalid," indicating that the ETC electronic tag is not activated, which is a normal phenomenon.
