Did you know that you can usually use your Snapper without even taking it out of your wallet? Just hold your wallet against the Snapper reader and because it uses Radio Frequency technology, the reader will detect your Snapper through the cover of your wallet.
Just to make sure this works, here's a few tips.
- If you have other RF cards close together in your wallet it may cause interference and you'll hear the "More than one card detected" message as you tag on the bus.
- You can try positioning your Snapper card on one side of your wallet and your other RF cards (eg. a building access card) as far to the other side of your wallet as possible. Often this is enough to ensure that there is no radio frequency interference between the cards.
- Make sure that your Snapper is positioned as close as possible to the outside wall of your wallet so that it's closest to the reader when you tag on.
- When tagging on or using Snapper in a retailer, place your wallet flat and still on the reader so that it is touching.
