If the logon policy requires fingerprints only, all users may be prevented from logging on to the computer. ● Sensitivity-Move the slider to adjust the sensitivity used by the fingerprint reader when you swipe your finger(s). If your fingerprint is not recognized consistently, you may need to select a lower sensitivity setting. A higher setting increases the sensitivity to variations in fingerprint swipes and therefore decreases the possibility of a false acceptance. The Medium-High setting provides a good mix of security and convenience. ● Advanced-Select one of the following options to configure the fingerprint reader to conserve power and to enhance visual feedback: ◦ Optimized-The fingerprint reader activates when needed. You may observe a slight delay when the reader is used for the first time. ◦ Conserve power-The fingerprint reader is slower to respond, but the setting requires less power. ◦ Full power-The fingerprint reader is always ready to be used, but this setting uses the most power.
