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

Soaked or swollen finger (e.g. after taking bath)

Injured finger

Wet finger

Soiled or oily finger

Extremely dry skin condition on finger

Observe the following to improve the fingerprint recognition success rate.

Enroll two or more fingers.

Enroll additional fingers if recognition failure occurs often using enrolled fingers.

Check your finger condition. Changed conditions, such as injured, rough, extremely dry, wet, soiled, dirty, oily, soaked, swollen fingers, may lower the recognition success rate. Also if the fingerprint is worn down or the finger becomes thinner or fatter, the recognition success rate may be lowered.

The fingerprint for each finger is different and unique. Please ensure that only the registered or enrolled fingerprint or fingerprints are used for identification.

Check sliding position and speed.

The fingerprint sensor compares and analyzes the unique characteristics in a fingerprint. However, there may be instances where certain users are unable to register their fingerprints due to insufficient unique characteristics in their fingerprints.

The recognition success rate may differ from user to user.
