Before You Start
Three quick things to have ready.
- Smartphone - An NFC enabled iPhone or Android phone - most modern phones work
- Internet Connection - Only needed once, which you set up the tag
- Your TAPPIE - pop your TAPPIE on the desk in front of you

The free app we use to talk to your TAPPIE.

The app is completely free.
Step 2 - Open NFC Tools
Tap two buttons - that's it.
Tap Write
Tap Add a Record
Step 3 - Add Your Emergency Contacts
This is the most important bit - keep it simple and clear.
In the app, choose “Contact” and create one record containing the essentials. You can include anything that would help someone reach you.
Parent / Guardian Name
