Setup of the GO-Box
Here's how the GO-Box is setup
The GO-Box is very simple: It has a button on the outside, two light indicators and a mini loudspeaker. With these, you can check the functionality or change the settings of the number of axles. Acoustic signals inform you when the toll has been paid.
| Button | You can use the button to check the technical status of the GO-Box and change the number of axles. |
|---|---|
| Axle indicator | The number of axles currently set (category) is shown by the light indicators for axles. |
| Status indicator | You can see the technical status of the GO-Box here. |
| Mini loudspeaker | Your GO-Box informs you at each toll gantry with acoustic signals whether the toll has been paid correctly. |

Changing the number of axles
Here's how to change the number of axles
If you keep the button pressed for more than 2 seconds, you change the category (number of axles). Keep the button pressed until the correct category is set.

| 2 | Green | current number of axles: 2 |
| 3 | Green | current number of axles: 3 |
| 4 | Green | current number of axles: 4+ |
From category 4 the display jumps back to the saved basic category (minimum number of axles of the tractor).
Acoustic signals
Pay attention to the signal beeps of the GO-Box
Beeps inform you about transactions between the GO-Box and the toll gantry when driving through the toll gantries.
| Signal tone | means for you |
| 1 short beep | Transaction OK |
| 2 short beeps | Transaction OK However, please drive to the nearest GO point of sale where you will receive further information. Possible information: Prepaid credit is running out, a data change is necessary, the GO-Box needs to be replaced or certain deadlines are about to expire. |

Attention! Signal tones do not inform about an incorrectly set category (number of axles).
