situation!
1. The Puppy® unit reads the patterns of ridges and valleys on the portion of your finger
between the tip and the first bend in your finger. Do not simply put the tip of your finger
on the sensor and hope for the unit to detect it! And don't turn your finger to the right or
the left, or place it upside down... use the finger guide on the device to judge correct

most important steps in setting up your Puppy unit. Don't rush it!
6. If you typically have very dry skin or you're just coming in from a cold environment, the
Puppy unit may have difficulty reading your finger. Try touching your finger to your

difficulty reading your finger. Try rubbing your finger on your slacks or sleeve and then
place your finger on the unit.
