Points to note about the FingerPrint Sensor

Please be aware of the following considerations when using the FingerPrint
sensor. A failure to follow these guidelines might result in damage to the
sensor, sensor failure, FingerPrint recognition problems or a lower
FingerPrint 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 vapor.
Do not touch the sensor with a soiled or dirty finger as minute foreign
particles of dust and dirt may scratch it.
Do not paste stickers or write on the sensor.
Do not touch the sensor with a finger or any other object which may have
a built-up of up static electricity on it.
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 any other
chemicals 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.
