How to Use a QR Code

How to Scan a QR Code

  1. Open the Camera app on your phone
    (Use the same app you take pictures with.)
  2. Point your camera at the QR code
    (Hold your phone steady and make sure the code is clearly visible on the screen. Do not press the photo button.)
  3. Wait for a message to appear
    (This usually takes a second or two.)
  4. Tap the message (URL that pops up) on your screen 
    (This will open the webpage automatically.)

If it doesn’t work:

  • Move your phone a little closer or farther away
  • Make sure there is enough light
  • Hold your phone steady for a moment

If nothing happens, the phone may need a free QR scanner app.
