Operating Basics Using the Fingerprint Sensor This product has a Fingerprint Utility installed for the purpose of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints. By enrolling the ID and password to the fingerprint authentication device, it is no longer necessary to input the password from the keyboard. Just by swiping the finger against the fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be enabled: ■ Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through IE (Internet Explorer). ■ Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to them prevented. ■ Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from power-saving (standby) mode. ■ Power-on Security and Single Sign-on feature. ■ Authentication of the User Password and Hard Disk Drive Password when booting up the computer. Fingerprint cannot be used in models that do not have a fingerprint module installed. Points to note about the Fingerprint Sensor Failure to follow these guidelines might result in (1) damage to the sensor or cause sensor failure, (2) finger recognition problems, or lower finger recognition success rate. ■ Do not scratch or poke the sensor with your nails or any hard or sharp objects. ■ Do not press the sensor strongly. ■ Do not touch the sensor with a wet finger or any wet objects. Keep sensor surface dry and free of water vapor. ■ Do not touch the sensor with a soiled finger. Minute foreign particles on a soiled or dirty finger may scratch the sensor. ■ Do not paste stickers or write on the sensor. ■ Do not touch the sensor with a finger or any object that has a built-up of static electricity on it. Observe the following before you place your finger on the sensor whether for fingerprint enrollment/registration or recognition. ■ Wash and dry your hands thoroughly. ■ Remove static electricity from your fingers by touching any metal surface. Static electricity is a common cause of sensor failures, especially when the weather is dry. ■ Clean the sensor with a lint-free cloth. Do not use detergent to clean the sensor. ■ Avoid the following finger conditions for enrollment or recognition as they may result in fingerprint enrollment errors or a drop in the fingerprint recognition success rate 4-2 User's Manual
