How To Use the QR Code on a Liquid Badge

Liquid Badge uses a QR Code as a backup for the NFC functionality–and in practice it functions the same. Some phones do not support NFC or can be cumbersome if your in a hurry. In case you’re in a position that makes using the QR Code advantageous we’ve put together a simple listing of instructions on how to use the QR Code on a Liquid Badge below.

1. Open the QR Code reader (or Camera app) on your phone.
2. Hold your device over a QR Code so that it’s clearly visible within your smartphone’s screen.
3. A couple of things can happen when you correctly hold your smartphone over a QR Code.
   1. The phone automatically scans the code.
   2. A bracket appears around the QR Code and you need to tap it with your finger.
   3. On some readers, you have to press a button to snap a picture, not unlike the button on your smartphone camera. If necessary, press the button.
4. Your smartphone reads the code and navigates to the owners Liquid Badge Profile. From there you can download their vCard which adds them to your Contacts. It may take a few seconds on most devices.
