DigitalPersona Use and Maintenance Guide for Swipe Readers

Achieving optimal fingerprint recognition accuracy depends on:

• Proper use of the fingerprint reader during fingerprint enrollment and user authentication.
• Regular maintenance of the fingerprint reader.

Warning
To protect against the risk of bodily injury, fire, or damage to the fingerprint reader:

• Do not submerge the fingerprint reader in liquid.
• Do not spray liquid on the fingerprint reader or allow liquid to drip inside.
• Do not use the fingerprint reader if it has incurred damage, such as a cracked or frayed cord or a broken connector.

Using the Fingerprint Reader
For comfort and reliability, it is recommended that you use the index finger of either hand.

To ensure proper use of the fingerprint reader when enrolling your fingerprints or when authenticating yourself using the fingerprint reader, perform the following steps:

1. Place the first knuckle of your index finger over the horizontal sensor bar, as shown in the picture above.

2. Pull your finger straight toward you, using moderate pressure and speed. The pad of your finger should make full contact with the sensor bar during the swipe and should remain centered (not too far left or too far right).

To maintain full contact with the sensor bar, you should pull you whole arm toward you rather than flicking your finger.

3. The DigitalPersona software will notify you if the scan was successful or if you need to swipe your finger again.

If the DigitalPersona software does not authenticate you after several attempts, try re-enrolling your fingerprint.

Cleaning the Fingerprint Reader
The condition of the fingerprint reader affects its ability to obtain a good quality scan of a fingerprint.

Occasionally, you may see a message advising you to clean the fingerprint reader. If you do, simply wipe the sensor bar with a dry or slightly damp tissue or with a cotton swab, as shown in the picture above.

Notes
DigitalPersona supports multiple types of fingerprint readers; however, during fingerprint enrollment, you must use the same fingerprint reader for all required scans.

The fingerprint reader is intended for home or office use only.
