You have been issued with a key fob for your card, here are some tips on how to use it.
The key fob has the same functionality as the card, so if you lose it, you need to block it as soon as possible to prevent its misuse, either on the website or at the Card Centre.
Compared to the card, the key fob has a lower reading distance (approx. 50%) due to its smaller size. And if the reader is placed on a metal base it may not work with the key fob at all. In this case, the key fob should be placed tightly on the surface of the reader, or the key fob should be used to find a suitable place on the reader (centre, corners, edges). Alternatively, if possible, lift the reader (distance it from the metal base - 3-5 cm is sufficient).
Because the key fob does not contain visual identification of the authorized owner, like a card, some University services may be unavailable (e.g. in the Central Library).
