Emergency Contact Edition:
Follow these simple steps to Tinker your Tag. If you have any questions, please contact us.
The process will involve downloading a free app that will help you program you Tinker Tag with the information YOU choose to share.
Step 1
Visit your application store and download “NFC Tools“. For Android, this is the Google Play Store, for Apple, this would be the App Store.
NFC Tools is a FREE application with no in purchase app needed. It allows your phone to “program” your Tinker Tag safely.
The Icon will look like this:
Step 2:
Once installed, Launch the app. Tap the READ button. Touch your Tinker Tag to the back of your phone. Usually near the top. Phones are different, you may have to google your phone’s model with the words, where is my NFC reader? Once recognized, NFC Tools will display your Tinker Tag’s info:
Step 3:
Dismiss the info. Tap WRITE button in NFC Tools, then ADD A RECORD. Scroll down to PHONE NUMBER and touch it. Next just type in whatever phone number you want associated with your Tinker Tag!
Step 4:
Select the WRITE button (it will show a certain number of bytes of data next to the WRITE button.
Your phone will prompt you to touch your Tinker Tag to your phone. Once it recognizes your Tag, it will write it and you are done!
To TEST your Tinker Tag… just close out the application, and make sure your phone is unlocked. Tap your Tinker Tag to your phone, and after a couple seconds, you will see your phone prompt you to dial the number YOU tinkered into that cool tag!
Congrats!!! (:
OPTIONAL:
You can go into the NFC Tools App and password lock your Tinker Tag. If you are interested in doing this and can’t figure it out, just reach out to us and we will walk you through those steps as well! Locking your tag just means nobody can overwrite it. It does not prevent it from being read by another device.
