Useful Information

Backup
The fi le described below is necessary for recovering the Fingerprint authentica-
tion data. Back up this fi le periodically in a safe location such as removable disk
to avoid data loss resulting from some accidents. We recommend you to store
the fi le in a removable disk or network drive because the benefi t of Fingerprint
authentication security can be reduced if you keep the fi le in the internal hard disk
drive.
The backup password described below is necessary for bypassing the Fingerprint
authentication. We recommend you set the backup password using the "User
Enrollment" wizard. If you do not defi ne the backup password, you may lose your
data in case of authentication hardware failure.
