2.3.7 Finger Printer

The finger printer lets you log on to your computer instead of inputting passwords from the
keyboard.
To raise the recognition success rate, the following illustrations show the correct way to
swipe your finger over the finger printer.
Align your fingertip with the finger printer as shown in the drawing and swipe.

these guidelines when using the finger printer.
• Do not scratch or poke the finger printer with your nails or any hard or sharp
objects.
