Does ETC have a Bluetooth switch
With the popularity of ETC, most vehicles have installed this device at present. But in the process of using this device, many people don't know much about some functions of ETC, especially in Bluetooth and charging of ETC. So where is the bluetooth switch of ETC? Is ETC bluetooth always on? How often do ETC devices charge?
where is the etc bluetooth switch?
generally, the bluetooth switch of ETC is located at the upper left of the device. long press this button to turn on the bluetooth function. Accordingly, the indicator light of the Bluetooth switch will flash or light up. Some devices insert the ETC card into the device, and the Bluetooth function can be turned on by inserting the ETC card twice in succession. In addition, in some early ETC devices, the activation pin needs to be inserted into the activation hole to turn on the Bluetooth function.
is bluetooth always on?
ETC bluetooth does not need to be turned on all the time, because the ETC bluetooth switch can only be used when the ETC device is activated or charged, and it will automatically sense when passing through the high-speed ETC channel, so it is not necessary to turn on bluetooth all the time. Because ETC itself will have its own frequency transmission and high-speed gap for RF connection, connecting car Bluetooth will only connect devices such as mobile phones, so it doesn't matter much whether ETC and Bluetooth can be turned on or not. And you don't need to connect your mobile phone all the time, only when you activate it, and you don't need to use your mobile phone after activation.
how often do etc devices charge?
similarly, car owners should not worry about how often ETC is charged, because at present, the mainstream usage is basically solar ETC electronic tag, which means that solar energy can be used for charging, and the manual does not clearly state how often ETC equipment is charged. For car owners who don't often use ETC, it is recommended to charge ETC equipment once every two or three months to ensure the service life of ETC battery.
where should ETC be installed?
With the continuous improvement of road facilities in China, the traffic efficiency has been greatly improved, among which ETC is a good example. I believe that most car owners have already experienced the convenience brought by ETC. Although ETC is very popular, many car owners may not know the best installation location after getting ETC equipment. The installation location of ETC is really special. Incorrect installation position is embarrassing, or it is easy to block the line of sight. So where is the most suitable location for ETC installation? What are the precautions when using?
1. Don't block your sight.
At present, many models have large back inclination of windshields, so the space between windshields is very limited. Therefore, when installing ETC, be sure not to block the line of sight, which poses a safety hazard to driving. Therefore, it is suggested that the best installation position is the upper edge in the middle of the glass and behind the rearview mirror, which can effectively reduce the problem of blocking the line of sight. In addition, there are some small black spots on the front windshield, which should be avoided when installing, because these small black spots will lead to weak adhesion and block the sun.
2. Don't delay charging.
ETC belongs to electronic equipment and needs power supply. In addition, it has a lithium battery inside and a solar panel on the back of the device, which can be charged by itself. Therefore, when installing ETC equipment, try to avoid the black area on the windshield and try not to install it in a place where it is easy to block the solar cell.
3. Do not disassemble the equipment easily after installation.
because once this device is removed, the microswitch will reset the device and lock the card of ETC, which makes it unusable. If you want to use it again, you need to reactivate it before you can use it. This is to prevent one card from being used by more than one car. Only one car information is recorded on the ETC device.
The best installation position
1. The height is not less than 1.2m and not more than 2.5m..
2. the installation angle n should be between 3 and 9 (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane).
3. The installation position of OBU equipment for small vehicles such as cars and vans is in the middle and upper part of the front windshield, and the installation position of large vehicles such as trucks and buses is in the middle and lower part.
4. if the vehicle itself has an explosion-proof membrane or the explosion-proof membrane is added later, because the explosion-proof membrane contains metal ions, which will affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, it should be installed on the "microwave skylight" belt or a rectangular area of 8 cm× 1 cm should be opened for the explosion-proof membrane.
ETC installation method
1. after getting the equipment, check whether the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the tamper-proof button on the back of the electronic tag (OBU), the red light will light up briefly, and the words "Tag failure" and "Please insert the card" will be displayed on the OLED screen, indicating that the equipment is in good condition.
2. Then clean the windshield to keep the glass surface smooth, clean, dry and free of sundries, then tear off the electronic label (OBU) and press it tightly for about three minutes to make it stick firmly.
3. Put the front of the ETC card towards the driver and the back of the card towards the front glass, and insert the chip into the electronic tag (OBU) device.
activation method of ETC device
1. First, find the etc assistant in the mobile phone application software, download it, register an account with your real name, and then log in. After logging in, you will see an OBU activation, and click OBU activation to enter.
2. After entering, you will see the ETC installation instructions and the Bluetooth operation method for starting ETC equipment. Plug and unplug the ETC card twice in a row until the electronic tag screen shows "Bluetooth on". If the electronic tag (OBU) is not attached, the display tag will be invalid after plugging and unplugging twice, which is normal and does not affect the activation. Of course, you can also directly press the button at the top of the electronic tag to turn on the Bluetooth function.
3. Then click the device connection and wait patiently for the prompt "Connection successful". After the connection, take photos and videos according to the prompts, click Submit, wait for the ETC staff to pass the audit, and click Activate in the original audit item after the audit passes.
notes on using ETC
1. under normal circumstances, the transaction sensing area of ETC is about 8 meters. When the preceding vehicle stops, in order to prevent the failure or absence of ETC equipment, it is best to keep a distance of more than 1 meters from the preceding vehicle to prevent the preceding vehicle from automatically sensing and paying.
2.ETC lane recognition speed is 2km/h, which is too fast to read the vehicle equipment information, and the fee deduction fails. Therefore, ETC users should slow down in parallel in advance before entering the toll station and drive vertically into ETC lane, and the speed should be controlled within 2 km/h.
3. After the expressway is on the road in the toll collection channel, the toll should be paid by manual toll collection channel under normal circumstances. Because the ETC camera can't identify the license plate information of vehicles entering the high-speed through the pick-up channel, it won't automatically charge, deduct and release, and it will be more troublesome to return the car and take the manual payment channel.
4. if you use ETC bound by debit card, the period balance is insufficient and the deduction fails. Therefore, at this time, according to the instructions of the toll booth staff, we can guide them to the manual toll collection channel and use cash or credit cards to pass.
5.ETC. If the transaction is unsuccessful, or if you don't swipe your card when you get off the expressway, you should hand over Carla to the staff for handling, and don't just walk away. ETC didn't detect the next high-speed record, so it is possible to calculate the full-line high-speed toll for you. The next time you get on the high-speed, the toll will be deducted, which is not worth the loss.
6.ETC electronic tag falls off loosely and is not attached to the front windshield of the vehicle as required, which leads to the failure of the tag, which will make the system unable to automatically lift the railing. Does etc have a Bluetooth switch? Where is etc generally installed? @219
