3. Sizing Guide
To ensure a comfortable and functional fit, accurately measure your finger size before selecting your JAKCOM R5 Smart Ring. The ring is available in sizes S, M, and L, corresponding to specific finger perimeters.
How to Measure Your Finger:
- Wrap an inelastic thread or strip of paper snugly around the base of the finger where you intend to wear the ring.
- Mark the point where the thread or paper overlaps.
- Straighten the thread or paper and measure its length in millimeters. This measurement is your finger's perimeter.
- Refer to the measurement chart below to find your corresponding ring size. If your measurement falls between sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size for comfort.
Image: Detailed guide for measuring finger size and corresponding ring sizes.
Measurement Chart:
| Size | Perimeter (mm) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| S | Less than 58mm | |
| M | 58mm ~ 63mm | |
| L | Longer than 63mm |
4. Setup
The JAKCOM R5 Smart Ring does not require charging or complex pairing. Its primary functions involve programming and interacting with compatible devices via RFID and NFC technologies.
Initial Configuration:
- Identify Chip Locations: The R5 ring has four distinct areas for its chips, typically marked on the inner surface. These correspond to the IC, ID, and NFC functions.
- Download Necessary Applications: For advanced functions like social sharing, wireless disk management, and certain NFC programming, you may need to download the official JAKCOM application or compatible third-party NFC tools (e.g., "NFC Tools" for Android).
- Programming RFID/NFC Cards: For emulating existing IC (13.56MHz) and ID (125KHz) cards, an external RFID/NFC copier device is often required. The ring itself does not have built-in writing capabilities for these card types. Refer to the manufacturer's website for recommended copier devices and detailed programming instructions.
- NFC Functions: For basic NFC functions like social sharing or launching shortcuts, simply touch the designated NFC area of the ring to a compatible smartphone's NFC reader.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 RFID Card Emulation (IC, ID, NFC)
The R5 Smart Ring can emulate up to six different RFID cards, including two IC cards (13.56MHz), two ID cards (125KHz), and two NFC cards. This allows you to use your ring for access control, public transport, and other card-based systems.
- Programming: To program IC and ID cards onto the ring, you will typically need a dedicated RFID/NFC copier. Follow the instructions provided with your copier device to read your existing cards and write the data to the corresponding chip areas on the R5 ring. Note that some T5577 chips may come password-locked and require specific passwords to unlock before writing.
- Usage: Once programmed, simply present the appropriate section of your R5 ring to the card reader, similar to how you would use a physical card.

5.2 Social Sharing
The R5 Smart Ring allows for quick sharing of your social media profiles and contact information with other compatible smartphones.
- Configuration: Use the JAKCOM app or a compatible NFC tool to link your social media profiles (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) or contact details to one of the ring's NFC chips.
- Sharing: Simply touch the configured NFC area of your ring to the back of another NFC-enabled smartphone. Your linked information will appear on their screen for easy access or connection.

5.3 Wireless Disk Sharing (128GB Cloud Storage)
The R5 Smart Ring provides access to an exclusive 128GB cloud storage space, allowing you to share files wirelessly with other phones. It is important to note that this storage is cloud-based and not physically built into the ring.
- Access: Configure the wireless disk function through the JAKCOM app. Upload your desired files (documents, images, videos, etc.) to the allocated cloud space.
- Sharing: To share files, touch the designated NFC area of your ring to a compatible smartphone. The recipient will be able to access the shared files via a link or direct transfer, depending on the app's configuration.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your JAKCOM R5 Smart Ring, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the ring with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the ring in a clean, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Impact: While made of durable ceramic, excessive force or impact can still damage the ring. Handle with care.
- Water Exposure: The ring is generally resistant to splashes but avoid prolonged submersion in water to prevent potential damage to internal components.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your JAKCOM R5 Smart Ring, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Issue: Ring not recognized by a reader.
Solution: Ensure the correct part of the ring (corresponding to the programmed chip) is in direct contact with the reader. Some readers may require a specific orientation or closer proximity. Verify that the card data was successfully written to the ring using a compatible copier. - Issue: Unable to program IC/ID cards to the ring.
Solution: Confirm you are using a compatible RFID/NFC copier device. Some T5577 chips may be password-protected; refer to the manufacturer's website or support for default passwords (e.g., ID1 = "5469616E", ID2 = "51243648" as reported by some users) to unlock them before writing. Ensure the copier is functioning correctly. - Issue: Social sharing or NFC functions not working with smartphone.
Solution: Ensure your smartphone's NFC function is enabled. Check that the JAKCOM app or your chosen NFC tool is correctly configured and running in the background if required. Try repositioning the ring on the phone's NFC reader area, which is typically near the camera or top back of the device. - Issue: 128GB wireless disk storage not accessible or misleading.
Solution: The 128GB storage is cloud-based, not internal to the ring. Access and manage this storage through the dedicated JAKCOM application. Ensure you have an active internet connection to access cloud files. - Issue: Ring feels too bulky or does not fit.
Solution: Refer to the Sizing Guide (Section 3) to ensure you selected the appropriate size. The ring's design is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
If these solutions do not resolve your issue, please contact JAKCOM customer support for further assistance.
