Because the reader is looking at the shape of the hand, it is important that you
place your hand on the reader the same way every time. When you put your
hand on the reader, do this:
•
If you are wearing a ring, make sure the stone is up in its normal position.
•
Slide your hand forward onto the platen (moving forward like a plane would
land at the airport; not straight down like a helicopter would land). Place your
hand gently and comfortably; there is no need to apply pressure.
•
Keep your hand flat. You should feel the platen with your palm and with the
bottom of your fingers.
•
Once you hand is flat on the platen, gently close your fingers so they touch
against the finger pins. Again, there is no need to apply pressure or press
hard. Watch the lights on the hand diagram on the top of the reader; if a light
stays on, that finger is not making proper contact with the pin.
If you have been enrolled with your left hand, follow the instructions above, but
put your left hand palm up on the reader. The back of your hand should be as
flat as possible against the platen.
