addition, you also require a homebanking program.
Configuring and using fingerprint sensor
The fingerprint sensor is not activated by default. You can decide for yourself, whether you log on to
the system by entering a password (see "Configuring password protection in BIOS Setup" chapter)
or with your fingerprint.

Activating fingerprint sensor

Ê
Call BIOS Setup and select the Security menu.
If you have already defined a supervisor and a user password, you have to delete these passwords
now. Follow the instructions in "Protecting BIOS Setup (supervisor and user password)" chapter.
Ê
Select the Supervisor Fingerprint Menu field and mark the Enable entry.
Ê
Then select the User Fingerprint Menu field and mark the Enable entry.
Ê
Select the Exit Saving Changes option in the Exit menu.
The notebook reboots and you enter the SUPERVISOR Fingerprint Security Menu.
Testing fingerprint
The option Please test to find suitable fingers allows you to test your fingerprint first.
Make sure that the contact area for your fingertip is big enough.
i
The more uniform the structure of your fingerprint, the less features are recognised by the
sensor. However for a secure log on to the system a minimum number of features has to
be registered. Therefore find out which of your fingertips have got the necessary features.
Ê
Press the [T] key.
Ê
Test your finger by placing it on the fingerprint sensor.
When you have found out which of your fingers are suitable for registration, exit the test menu by
pressing [Esc].
