BAGTAG Flex
Flexible Batteryless Flex Airline
Welcome on board!
Your BAG TAG works in combination with the BAG TAG and/or supported airline
app. For a list of supported airlines, please check our website.
To register your BAG TAG, download the BAG TAG mobile application in the Apple
App Store or Google Play Store.
Register the BAG TAG Flex
Step 1: Log in the BAGTAG app
To register the BAG TAG device (which you only need to do once), go to the App
Store or Google Play Store and download the BAG TAG application. You will
first need to sign up or log in before registering the device.
Step 2: Add the device
Go to the device tab (suitcase icon) after logging in and select the ‘Add
device’ option. Check to see if your location sharing, Internet, and Bluetooth
are enabled.
Step 3: Register with NFC
To connect the BAG TAG with your phone, choose the ‘Activate with NFC’ option
in the BAG TAG app and place the back of your phone close to the device.
Keep in mind that depending on the phone, the NFC positioning varies (see the
next page for an indication). Continue to hover the phone until a blue light
appears on top of the BAG TAG, indicating that the devices are attempting to
connect. Wait till the blue light remains blue, which means the devices are
connected. The BAG TAG is now ready for its first flight.
Please note:
- Smartphone cases can make it difficult to establish an NFC connection.
- The distance you should have between your smartphone and the BAGTAG you would like to establish a connection with can be different for any kind of mobile phone.
- It is important to hold the devices stable, otherwise, there is a risk of losing connection.
Check in your baggage
Step 1: Check in
Check in your bag through the supported airline app. The luggage label is
transferred to the BAGTAG from within the airline’s mobile app. This option is
available after check-in.
Step 2: Updating the BAGTAG display
Choose your upcoming flight and activate the BAG TAG with NFC. Follow the
instructions in the airline app to update the BAG TAG display. The label
should be successfully sent to the BAG TAG, and the flight information will
appear on the e-paper display.
You will also receive a confirmation e-mail that your bag was successfully
checked in and labeled.
Please note
The check-in process can differ per airline. Check the airline’s website for
the correct instructions.
