Trouble?

  • ERA shows INVALID REQUEST (The action cannot be completed due to wallet mismatch or unsupported QR code.) after scanning → the phone showed a QR from another feature; go back to Authenticity Check in the app and scan again.

  • The camera does not read the phone → raise the phone's brightness and hold it 15–20 cm from the camera.

  • ERA Lens shows Update Required under System version → see Update the firmware; the transaction preview database is missing or old.
