■ Usage precautions for fingerprint sensor
• The fingerprint sensor malfunction may occur if dirt adheres to the
surface of the fingerprint sensor or your finger. Wipe any dirt with
a soft cloth before use. Also wrinkled finger with water may cause
malfunction.
• Do not strike the terminal or give a hard shock. May cause failure or
damage. Do not scratch the surface of the fingerprint sensor or pick
with a pointed objected, such as a nib.
• Rubbing hard with a fingernail or hard object such as metal piece of
strap may scratch the surface of the fingerprint sensor.
• Dirt with mud etc. or scratch on the surface of the fingerprint sensor
may cause failure or damage.
• Do not attach a sticker or paint with ink etc. on the fingerprint sensor.
• Dirt of dust, sebum, etc. may make fingerprint scanning difficult
or reduce the authentication performance. Clean occasionally the
fingerprint sensor surface.
• When fingerprint registration or authentication fails often, clean the
surface of the fingerprint sensor. The phenomenon may be improved.
• To clean the fingerprint sensor, wipe its surface with a dry, soft and
static-free cloth. Long-term use may cause the fingerprint sensor to
get dusty, but do not try to remove the dust with a pointed object
even in such a case.
• Static electricity may cause malfunction. Before placing the finger on
the fingerprint sensor, eliminate static electricity by touching a metal
object with the hand, etc. Take particular care in dry seasons such as
winter.
