Step-by-Step Guide: How to Activate Your GetQrHelp QR Tag
Congratulations on choosing GetQrHelp to secure your vehicle and protect your privacy! Our smart QR tags are designed to make it incredibly easy for others to reach you when your car is parked, blocked, or involved in an emergency, all without revealing your phone number.
If you have just received your GetQrHelp QR sticker, here is a quick, step-by-step guide to get it activated and ready in less than two minutes.
Step 1: Scan the QR Code
Take your physical GetQrHelp sticker. Open the default camera app or any QR code scanner on your smartphone and aim it at the QR code.
- A popup link will appear on your screen. Tap it.
- You will be redirected to the secure GetQrHelp activation portal.
Step 2: Create or Log In to Your Account
To manage your sticker's settings, you need a secure account.
- If you are a new user, register by entering your phone number or email address. You will receive an OTP (One-Time Password) to verify your identity.
- If you already have an account, simply log in to link the new QR code tag to your existing profile.
Step 3: Enter Your Vehicle Details
Once logged in, you will be prompted to enter the vehicle information associated with this tag:
- Vehicle Number: Enter your license plate number (e.g., DL3CXX1234). This helps people verify they are scanning the correct car.
- Vehicle Type: Select whether it is a car, motorcycle, commercial truck, etc.
Step 4: Set Up Emergency Contacts & Privacy Preferences
This is the most crucial step where you define how people can reach you.
- Primary Contact Number: Enter the phone number where you want to receive calls or SMS notifications.
- Emergency Contacts (SOS): Add fallback numbers (like your spouse or family members) in case you do not answer.
- Privacy Settings: Choose whether to enable call masking. When enabled, users scan the QR and connect with you via our secure system, keeping your actual phone number completely hidden.
Step 5: Mount Your Sticker
Now that your tag is digitally active, it’s time to stick it on your vehicle.
- Clean the inside or outside of your windshield (depending on the sticker type you purchased) with a dry cloth to remove dust and grease.
- Peel off the backing paper and press the sticker firmly onto the glass, preferably in the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of the windshield so it is easily visible to parkers or wardens.
Your GetQrHelp tag is now fully operational! Test it by scanning it with another phone to see how the interface looks.
