What Does Label Removal Mean?
2 Answers
It means the device is currently unavailable and needs to be reinstalled and reactivated at the original processing point or any expressway ETC service office. Here is additional information: Most ETC devices display "label removal" because users dismantled the ETC equipment to replace the battery. Recovery method: The anti-tamper lever on the back of the ETC electronic tag is essentially a reset button switch. Once the button pops out, the information stored in the ETC device will be erased, requiring reactivation to input the data again. You can try the ETC self-service activation method. If that doesn't work, you'll need to take it to an ETC service point or ETC service center for reactivation or cancellation, and replace it with a new ETC electronic tag.
I researched label removal when I first picked up my car, mainly focusing on those stickers and labels on the vehicle. Common ones include the price tag in the corner of the window, the environmental label on the windshield, and the factory parameter plate near the door. If you're doing it yourself, I recommend using a hairdryer to heat and soften the glue before peeling it off slowly. For stubborn adhesive residue, use a specialized adhesive remover. Be extra careful not to scratch the car paint or window film—I almost damaged my newly applied film once. The aluminum foil label with the VIN on the side of the car must never be removed recklessly; it's the vehicle's ID, and unauthorized removal might cause issues with the DMV during ownership transfer. Some adhesive labels become brittle over time, so it's best to clean them up early to avoid unsightly marks.
