Why does the ETC device prompt 'Label Removed'?
1 Answers
ETC displays 'Label Invalid' due to unauthorized removal or relocation of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag. It needs to be reinstalled and reactivated at the original processing point or any highway ETC service center. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-removal button on the back of the OBU; a red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display 'Label Invalid' or 'Please Insert Card,' indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing 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, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays 'Bluetooth On.' If 'Label Invalid' appears when inserting/removing twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually with a download QR code on the electronic tag), then enter the device activation interface. Click 'Device Connection' and wait patiently for the 'Connection Successful' prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.
