To do this, with the device connected and entering the main menu, you will see that there is an option reserved for the subscribed services or networks.<\/li>\n<li>Verify that the information displayed on the device screen is correct. It is very important that the license plate of the vehicle appears correctly, and that it is configured with the number of axles and the corresponding weight category. Also, the lights on the device should be green when connected.<\/li>\n<li>The device should always be connected to the power supply, preferably directly to the vehicle battery (through a fixed connection), instead of the lighter connection. The main reason for fines in this country is the detection of the vehicle with the device disconnected.<\/li>\n<li>Notify Vrio immediately if the device has any anomalies or problems. If the error has been reported to the highway at the time it occurs, a solution can be put in place that avoids any economic penalties being issued.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Different types of tolling technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are two different types of technologies for the payment of tolls: by shortwave technology or by satellite technology (GPS). The first option refers to countries that operate with tolling barriers: if the vehicle carries a device valid for that country, a signal will be sent to the barrier that will scan the device and activate the toll barrier. On the other hand, satellite or GPS technology refers to countries that do not have barriers, instead by tracking the vehicle by satellite while circulating in the country the toll company then generates the costs to be applied.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">IMPORTANT: A <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vrioeurope.com\/en\/our-services\/toll-management\/\">multi-country device<\/a><\/span> may open the barriers even if it is not connected to the power supply, but this does not ensure that it will work when entering a satellite technology country.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you to travel to Belgium?
