13. Fingerprint Sensor (ScanFront 300eP)
The ScanFront 300eP is equipped with a fingerprint sensor for registering fingerprints and authenticating users. The fingerprint sensor is a precision component. Be careful when handling this sensor.
❏Cautions for Handling the Fingerprint Sensor
Fingerprint Sensor
●The following actions may damage the fingerprint sensor or cause it to malfunction. Read this information carefully to avoid damaging the sensor.
–Dropping an object on the fingerprint sensor, or otherwise subjecting it to a strong impact
–Scratching the surface of the fingerprint sensor, or poking it with a pointed object
–Pressing a hard object such as a fingernail or metal item against the fingerprint sensor, resulting in scratches being created on the surface of the fingerprint sensor
–Touching the fingerprint sensor with dirty hands, which might scratch or dirty the surface of the fingerprint sensor
–Placing a sticker on the surface of the fingerprint sensor, or covering the surface with ink or another substance
●If fingerprint authentication fails frequently, the fingerprint sensor may be dirty. Clean the surface of the fingerprint sensor regularly.
●When cleaning the fingerprint sensor, use a soft dry cloth to wipe dirt off the surface.
●Do not use a pointed object to remove any dirt that accumulates around the fingerprint sensor. Doing so may cause the fingerprint sensor to malfunction.
●Touching the fingerprint sensor while charged with static electricity may cause the fingerprint sensor or device unit to malfunction. Before touching the fingerprint sensor, discharge any static electricity by touching a piece of metal. Be especially careful during dry periods, such as the winter season, when the likelihood of being charged with static electricity is high.
