Using PantherOne Mobile ID on Android Devices

Overview and Process

Some phones require the user to log in to the GET Mobile app once daily to utilize PantherOne Mobile ID. Ensure NFC is turned on by going to your phone’s Settings.

To use PantherOne Mobile ID at a reader, the phone does not need to be unlocked, but the screen should be awake.

Hold the Android phone parallel to the reader, within at least 1-2 inches.  Android phones can vary in the placement of the NFC antenna, so moving the phone up or down against the reader may be necessary.

The device will bring the PantherOne Mobile ID credential up automatically from your Google Wallet.

For door access, the card reader will beep and the light at the top will turn green once the door has been successfully unlocked.

For door access at student residential locations, the additional step of inputting your personal code is still required before the door will successfully unlock.

Participation in PantherOne Mobile ID is voluntary at this time. Panther Card users who do not elect to use PantherOne Mobile ID may continue using their card as normal.

Using PantherOne Mobile ID at Print/Copy Devices

All multi-function print/copy machines have been upgraded to support Mobile Credentials. 

Important: New readers have been installed, so users will need to re-register their account on the machine for each different use case (ID card and mobile phone.) New users will need to register their account on the first use of the machine.

Follow steps 1-3 to register each different use-case: Florida Tech ID card and/or Android phone.  This is a one-time re-registration step for the new reader to recognize these different device types.

1. Tap your Florida Tech ID card, or wake up the Android phone screen and hold the phone parallel above the reader to the right of the display. 

2. When prompted, sign in with your TRACKS username and password.

3. Log out, then repeat with a different use-case device.

4. After initial re-registration, wake up the Android phone screen and hold the phone parallel to the reader, within 1 inch, and wait for the machine to log you in. Then you may use the machine as normal.
