Web timer for 6 seconds

You are scanning your pass at a Philippine ferry terminal while keeping your eyes on the gate display, your bag, and the queue moving around you. A 6 seconds countdown suits the brief pause between placing the QR code under the reader and checking whether the screen confirms entry. It gives the scanner a moment to respond without pulling your attention away from boarding instructions.

You may switch back to the digital pass as soon as the countdown starts, leaving its tab behind the page you need at the barrier. The count can continue in the background, though a phone may soften or delay its alert when the browser is inactive or battery-saving settings intervene. Keeping the countdown visible beside a saved pass avoids another hurried switch when the reader flashes.

You are still watching the scanner and nearby passengers when the end approaches, so terminal noise may cover a quiet tone. Set the phone where you can also notice vibration or the screen changing, rather than depending only on sound. If confirmation appears early, stop waiting and move through; if it appears later, keep the pass steady until the reader finishes.
