Using the Card Armor RFID Reader
1. Scanning for RFID Signals
Once your device is paired, you can begin using the Card Armor RFID Reader to detect RFID signals.
- Activate the RFID scan: In the app, tap the “Scan” button to begin detecting nearby RFID signals.
- The reader will automatically start scanning and will notify you if an RFID signal is detected from a card in your vicinity.
2. Receiving Alerts
Whenever an unauthorized RFID scan is detected, the app will send you an instant alert. These alerts will include information about the detected RFID signal, including the time and type of card involved. This allows you to stay on top of any potential security threats.
Note: The app will only alert you if an external device is attempting to scan your card. If the scan is initiated by your own device or cards, no alert will be triggered.
3. Activating Shield Mode
To protect your RFID cards from unauthorized scanning, the Shield Mode feature temporarily disables RFID functionality on your cards. This feature is especially useful when you're in crowded areas or high-risk environments.
To activate Shield Mode:
- Open the Card Armor app.
- Tap the “Shield Mode” button.
- You’ll see a notification confirming that Shield Mode has been activated.
While Shield Mode is on, your RFID cards cannot be read by any external devices. You can easily disable it when you’re ready to use your cards again.
4. Viewing the Activity Log
The Card Armor RFID Reader keeps a detailed log of all detected RFID signals, so you can review your data history at any time.
To access the activity log:
- Open the Card Armor app.
- Go to the “Activity Log” section from the main menu.
- Here, you’ll find a list of all detected RFID signals, along with the date, time, and type of signal.
You can use this log to monitor any suspicious activity and ensure your cards are secure.
