Setup guide

Setup & tips

Your MONOTAP arrives ready to use, already programmed with your link. Here’s how to get the most out of it.

01

Tap it the right way

  1. iPhone: hold the keychain near the top of the back of the phone, close to the camera. The screen must be on. A banner appears, and they tap it.
  2. Android: hold it against the middle of the back of the phone. NFC must be turned on (Settings › Connected devices › NFC).
  3. Hold still for about one second. Don’t swipe.
02

Nothing happened?

  1. Make sure the screen is on and unlocked.
  2. Remove card wallets, metal cases or magnetic rings from the back of the phone.
  3. On iPhone, close the Camera and Wallet apps first, because they block tag reading.
  4. On iPhone 7 to X, open Control Centre and tap “NFC Tag Reader”.
  5. On Android, check that NFC is switched on.
03

Change your link (about 30 seconds)

  1. Open My MONOTAP from the menu, or go to /me on this website.
  2. Enter your email and tap the sign-in link we send you.
  3. Pick a keychain, paste your new link (or switch to your profile page) and tap Save.
  4. That’s it: your keychain opens the new link straight away.
04

Look after it

  1. Don’t leave it on a car dashboard in the sun. Like most 3D-printed plastics, it can soften in high heat.
  2. Wipe with a damp cloth. No need to remove the chip, it’s sealed inside.
  3. If it ever stops working, message us. We’ll sort it out.
