Users of the automatic toll collection system are obliged to operate the On-Board Units correctly in accordance with
Clause 32 of the General Standard Terms and Conditions of Toll Collect GmbH. In particular, they are obliged to ensure
that the On-Board Unit is ready for use and that the details concerning the vehicle status are correct before using toll
roads. Toll Collect GmbH hereby informs users that the On-Board Unit records timestamped information concerning the
simultaneous starting of the On-Board Unit with the truck as well as all changes to the settings made by the driver on the
On-Board Unit and errors with regard to the readiness of the On-Board Unit for toll collection.
As part of their toll enforcement activities, officials from the Federal Office for Goods Transport can request this informa-
tion from each On-Board Unit and carry out a timestamped check to determine whether a user is fulfilling his obligations.
Version 3.7. B C DG
Note on information and display of the toll-liable tonnage limit in this version of
the User Manual
In accordance with the announcement made by the German Federal Ministry of Transport
and Digital Infrastructure, a reduction of the toll requirements from a gross vehicle weight
of at least 7.5 tonnes upwards is planned as of 1 October 2015.
In order for the User Manual to retain its validity beyond October 2015, reference has
consequently already been made to the new lower weight limit during inclusion of the
vehicle data in this document (pages 8 and 14).
Until the binding introduction of the tonnage reduction, the currently valid tonnage limit
of 12 tonnes will continue to be displayed in the menu of the On-Board Unit.
Up-to-date user information on the current status of the tonnage reduction is available online at www.toll-collect.de.

1 General infOrmatiOn
Please familiarise yourself with the functions of your On-Board Unit
before starting your first journey. The On-Board Unit must not be
operated while driving.
▪ The driver is obliged to set the correct vehicle weight and number
of axles before driving on toll roads in Germany.
▪ Before driving on toll roads in Austria, the correct number of
axles (category) must be declared in accordance with the “Tolling
Regulations for the Motorways and Expressways of Austria
(Mautordnung für die Autobahnen und Schnellstraßen Österreichs)”.
The current version of the tolling regulations is available at
www.asfinag.at.
▪ In Germany, you must book the toll route segment manually via
the Internet or a toll station terminal if the On-Board Unit malfunctions.
▪ In Austria, you must pay the toll retroactively at a GO distribution
outlet in accordance with the tolling regulations if the On-Board
Unit malfunctions. In the event of permanent On-Board Unit failure, a GO-Box can be obtained at any time from the GO distribution outlet.

vehicle by an authorised Toll Collect Service Partner as per the
instructions.
▪ Do not interfere with the On-Board Unit or the cables and do not
change the angle of inclination.

thinners or benzine to clean the On-Board Unit. Clean the
Grundig OBU with a slightly damp cloth.
▪ In order to guarantee that the On-Board Unit will work properly,
there must be no objects between the windscreen and the DSRC
module. Similarly, in the case of the Continental dashboardmounted unit, objects must not be placed next to or on the OnBoard Unit or positioned above the On-Board Unit.

Dear User,
Toll Collect GmbH would like to thank you for deciding to have this
On-Board Unit installed in your vehicle. The On-Board Unit is used
for automatic toll collection on toll roads in Germany and for optional toll collection on toll roads in Austria.
The functions of the On-Board Unit in Germany are as follows:
▪ Continuous determination of the vehicle position using satellite
(GPS) technology
▪ Comparison of the current position with a geographical database
for toll roads
▪ Analysis of route segments, calculation and display of toll col-
lection
▪ Transfer of data to the back-office system for billing
▪ Reporting of (visual and acoustic) interference that prevents au-
tomatic toll collection
The functions of the On-Board Unit in Austria are as follows:
▪ Position-independent tolling of vehicles on toll gantries installed
over the road using microwave (DSRC) technology
▪ Signalling of toll collection by means of signal tones only
▪ Reporting of (visual and acoustic) interference that prevents toll
collection
Please read this User Manual carefully and familiarise yourself with
the functions of the On-Board Unit. Keep all of the supplied documentation in a safe place. When uninstalling the On-Board Unit,
hand over the User Manual and accompanying documents to the
Service Partner.
We wish you a safe and pleasant journey.

To open the menu, press the
button once and you can then use
the

The menu navigation of the BOSCH On-Board Unit looks slightly different to that of the Grundig and Continental On-Board Units, but the sequence and operation are exactly the same.
An example of the differences is illustrated in the image below:
In contrast to the displays for the other On-Board Units, the euro symbol (€) is shown after the toll amount.
