• The RecordData application enables you to store tag-specific
information in the application each time you touch a tag.
For example, in order to keep track of your travel expenses, you can
attach a tag to the dashboard of a car, and store time stamped
records of the beginning and ending of a journey to track mileage.
In both applications, data is stored in the phone memory.

Tags
The tags provided with Nokia Mobile RFID Kit are used to identify
objects and tasks.
All tags have a unique serial number that the Shortcut and RecordData
applications use to identify the tags. When taking a tag into use with an
application, you associate the tag serial number with an object or task,
depending on which application the tag is to be used with.
You can use each tag with one or both of the two applications. This
means that depending on which application is active in the phone,
touching a tag can either launch a predefined task in the Shortcut
application (such as making a phone call to a number you have
specified) or make the RecordData application ask you to enter
information that will be recorded for the tag.
Nokia Mobile RFID Kit uses non battery-powered (passive) tags. Only
tags that are compliant with the MIFARE® UltraLight protocol can be
used.
Nokia Mobile RFID Kit contains two tags. If you need more tags, please
contact your vendor for MIFARE® UltraLight tags.
Note:
The tags may set off the Electronic Article Surveillance
(EAS) alarms used, for example, for theft-protection in shops.
