What is the status after ETC activation?

ETC activation status: 1. Most will display the words "Start Accounting" and then the screen will go black; 2. Display the balance and then the screen will go black; 3. It will also display differently depending on whether it is a credit card or a debit card. After activation, a credit card will display "card" or "credit card", while a debit card will only display the balance for a short moment without much additional content. ETC, which stands for Electronic Toll Collection in Chinese, is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. It uses dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. It leverages computer networking technology to perform backend settlement processing with banks, thereby achieving the purpose of allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll fees.

When I first installed the ETC on my car, the activated status was very obvious: the small device on the car had a green light flashing continuously, indicating it was ready. Activation was done through a mobile app, and after confirmation, the green light stayed on, representing a normal system connection. From then on, every time I drove on the highway, as soon as I approached the toll station's sensing area, the barrier automatically lifted, and the fee was deducted with a quick scan—no need to queue for payment, super convenient. The first time I used it, I was nervous about whether the green light might flash incorrectly, but everything went smoothly without any issues. However, it's important to keep an eye on the card balance; if it runs out, the toll station might stop you. Also, regularly check that the device isn’t obstructed, as a blocked signal could cause detection failure. In short, activating ETC means saying goodbye to hassles and making travel smoother.

After the ETC device is activated, the working status is indicated by a steady green light, which means all settings are confirmed and the system is ready to go. Once you install it according to the manual and power it on, you'll see the light change color—a red light indicates an issue that requires reconfiguration, while a green light signifies successful activation. During use, the toll station antenna automatically recognizes and deducts fees with super efficiency. However, if you notice abnormal statuses like the green light not turning on, it could be due to signal interference or an insufficient card balance. In such cases, try restarting the device or contact customer service to update your information. Regular maintenance is also crucial, such as avoiding direct high-temperature exposure to extend the device's lifespan and ensure stable operation. Overall, driving with an activated ETC makes your journey more convenient, time-saving, and efficient.

After activating ETC, the status is straightforward: A green light on the device indicates successful activation. The system automatically recognizes and deducts fees at toll stations without requiring you to stop. Remember, the status remains normal only when there's money in the card. First-time users might feel nervous, but it becomes habitual after a few tries. After activation, frequent trips through toll stations help familiarize you with the process, ensuring reliable and convenient travel.
