Where is the appropriate place to install ETC?

[VanCarter]

The ETC device is generally installed in the upper middle section of the front windshield horizontally, while for large vehicles like trucks and buses, it should be installed in the lower middle section. The suitable installation position should be at a height no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof films, which may interfere with microwave signal transmission, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight zone. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is handled by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card under the owner's name for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual aged between 18 and 60. Required documents for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); Original ID card of the proxy; Original vehicle registration certificate; The vehicle that needs ETC installation. Here are precautions for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the driver's view. It's best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a steep incline, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You would then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Notes for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failed toll deduction. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause deduction failure.
