• When the vehicle is driven under ERP gantries, a short beep will sound. The CashCard balance after deduction will appear.
• If there is a continuous beep, no beep at all, 'Err' (Error) appears in the display window or it remains blank, ensure the CashCard has been inserted correctly. If the problem persists, the IU is faulty and needs to be looked into. Contact San's Tours at Tel : 6734 9922.
