What does 'ETC expired' mean?
1 Answers
ETC expired means that the ETC electronic tag is invalid and cannot be used, which also includes the situation where the ETC card is expired and cannot be used. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and the 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 that the device is functioning normally. Clean the windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the protective film on the back of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays 'Bluetooth On.' If the screen shows 'Tag Invalid' when inserting and removing the card twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually, there is a download QR code on the electronic tag). Enter the device activation interface. Click 'Device Connection' and wait patiently for the 'Connection Successful' prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete the activation.
