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 onto the
fingerprint authentication feature, it is no longer necessary to input the
password from the keyboard. Fingerprint feature enables you to:
■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 (e.g. standby) mode.
■Authentication of the User Password (and, if applicable, HDD (Hard
Disk Drive) Password) when booting up the computer.(Power-on
Security)
■Single Sign-on feature

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 vapour.
■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 with built-up static
electricity.
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.
The peg is square, so be careful to align the cap’s square hole with the
peg.
