What You Should Not Do - eKey Fingerscan Access Control System Operating Instructions Manual

General
Best results are achieved by using the middle finger and stretching out the index and
ring finger at the same time.. (see the figure above).
The correct operation of the fingerprint scanner is your guarantee of the successful functioning of this
product. Below written recommendations apply for all hardware types:
Please use the finger which has the best finger lines in your opinion. In particular with weakly-
pronounced finger lines you should avoid pressing down too hard on the sensor so that you do not
squash the finger lines which are flat anyway.
The small fingers and thumbs should NOT be used!
The finger scanner is equipped with a fully automatic learning system, which recognizes changes in
user habits and growing children´s fingers. To optimize the fingerprint recognition, it is best to
swipe each finger at least 5 times over the sensor, every time you have enrolled a new finger, or if
you have not used the system for a long time. If any of your finger scans is rejected, then please
repeat this process. Sollte Ihr Scan abgewiesen werden, so wiederholen Sie bitte diesen Vorgang.
If none of your fingerprint scans are accepted in spite of this, please try the following:
Vary the pressure (stronger or lighter) when swiping your finger.
Take care to place your finger correctly in the finger recess
Small finger and thumb are not ideal for ergonomic reasons. The thumb is particularly very difficult
to use.
Try scanning the fingerprint at different speeds in order to find out the best speed for you.
Save the same fingerprint in several locations, if the above points do not help. You have 99
memory spaces available. In extreme circumstances you should use up to 10 memory spaces for
one finger.
Wet fingers show different contours. If you often have wet fingers, then save your fingerprint in
wet condition.
Children´s fingerprints are usually recognized, depending on the body height of the child, generally
from the age of 5 – please also observe the above points.
