1. Where to apply the device?

1a. Loop Sticker

Loop devices in sticker form can be sticky on the front of the main design (inside a glass or see-through surface) or the back of the main design (on top of the surface). Front-adhesive stickers are used as window devices or car devices while back-adhesive stickers are used as door devices or owner’s devices.

Only on-metal devices can work with metal surfaces like steel or aluminum.

Adhesive pads can be used with or without the mounting plate (in replacement of the screws).

2. How to scan the device?

Loop devices are readable by the smartphone’s built-in NFC reader. For iOS devices, the NFC antenna is on the back and in the upper right corner (near the camera). For Android devices, the antenna is on the back and in or near the middle. Simply hold the phone close to the device in its NFC antenna position as illustrated below.

3. Device type and Loop type

Each device can only represent one Loop type and a Loop can only contain same-type devices. For example, Car Loop only carries car devices but Car Loop can have more than one device and users can create more than one Car Loop.
