What is the installation method for the ETC device?
2 Answers
ETC device installation method is: 1. Purchase the ETC device, check if all components are complete, and review the installation manual; 2. Determine the installation orientation of the ETC device, with the solar panel facing outward; 3. Peel off the adhesive backing on the device, align the solar panel with the vehicle's front windshield, and press firmly to ensure secure attachment; 4. Install the device at the center top of the front windshield without obstructing the driver's normal view. It should be adhered in one go and not removed for reattachment; 5. Insert the ETC card to activate the device. Upon hearing a beep and seeing the indicator light turn on, the device is activated, and installation is complete.
I've installed ETC devices several times as a frequent highway driver, and found the process actually quite straightforward. First, prepare your ETC kit including the small square OBU unit and matching card. Choose a flat spot on the windshield, typically the upper left or right corner near the rearview mirror, ensuring it doesn't obstruct your view. Thoroughly clean the glass surface with alcohol wipes, let it dry, then peel off the adhesive backing and firmly press for 20 seconds. Next, insert the card to activate the device automatically. Test it at a toll gate - if the green light comes on, you're set. Avoid installing on tinted areas to prevent signal interference; use supplementary suction cups if needed for stability. Regularly check the adhesive tape to prevent detachment during high-speed driving. Done properly, ETC not only saves tollbooth queues but also reduces fuel waste.
