Usage Guide

Your OFFPAD can be connected to your device using either Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Near Field Communication (NFC).
With the OFFPAD+ you can also use USB.

The way you chose to connect your OFFPAD to your device has implications on how you use the OFFPAD.

Using the OFFPADs with a BLE or USB connection​

Using a USB connection is only available on the OFFPAD+ and requires the specially designed card holder with an integrated USBC port.
When using BLE the OFFPAD or OFFPAD+ needs to be paired to your device as described in the getting started guide.
Before connecting the OFFPAD or OFFPAD+ to your device using BLE or USB it needs to be turned on.

In this mode the fingerprint sensor is activated and the fingerprint sensor will be used to verify that you are the owner of the OFFPAD. If the fingerprint match fails 8 times the OFFPAD will use the PIN to verify that you are the owner of the OFFPAD.

Using the OFFPAD with NFC​

If you are using a Near Field Communication (NFC) connection to connect the OFFPAD to your device the OFFPAD needs to be turned off.

Power on OFFPAD

When the OFFPAD is off the screen and fingerprint sensor is deactived and the PIN will be used to verify that you are the owner of the OFFPAD. Fingerprints and PIN represents the same level of security but the difference is that a PIN is something you have to remember.
