The **Scan QR** function available in an active session enables the [Jade Plus](https://store.blockstream.com/products/jade-plus) camera to read many types of QR codes. This allows you to interact with your Jade Plus and a companion device fully air-gapped (without needing a USB or Bluetooth connection).

> **Note:** QR mode supports Bitcoin transactions only. Liquid is not supported via QR. To send or receive Liquid assets, connect Jade to the Blockstream app using USB or Bluetooth.

## Scan QR Functionality

The following data can be read as a QR code, either encoded in BC-UR format or as a plain text string:

- **[Device Unlock](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/use-jade-air-gapped/access-jade-air-gapped-with-qr-pin-unlock):** Perform a PIN Unlock using QR codes and a companion app
