Biometric ID Pad Usage and Care Guidelines
Taking care of your Biometric ID Pad The Biometric ID Pad, while tolerant of residues left on the reader, performs optimally when kept clean! How to clean the Biometric ID Pad • Apply the sticky side of a piece of adhesive cellophane tape to the window, and then peel it away, OR • Gently dab the fingerprint reader window with a cloth that has been dampened with mild ammonia-based glass cleaner. (Do not use paper!) Protect against the risk of damage to your Biometric ID Pad • Do not pour glass cleaner directly on the reader window. • Do not use alcohol-based cleaners. • Never submerge the reader in liquid. • Never wipe the window with an abrasive material, including paper. • Do not poke the window coating with your fingernail or any other item, such as a pen. Proper use of your Biometric ID Pad Most of the unique, repeatable fingerprint information is located in the “pad” of your finger, not in the “tip”. Flat finger placement as shown below will
result in fast and accurate fingerprint authentication.
