centimeters or inches.
This section provides instructions on how to pair your computer with an NFC device. For more information
about data transfer, see the documentation of the NFC device.
Attention:
• Before handling the NFC card, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. Otherwise the card might
get damaged by the static electricity from your body.
• During the data transfer, do not put your computer or NFC-enabled smartphone to sleep mode; otherwise,
your data might get damaged.

horizontal extension line for the center of the NFC label.
2. Slowly move the card a distance within 0.5 cm (0.20 inches) to the direction of the computer display.
