Using the Fingerprint Scanner
(Optional)
CAUTION:
For optimal performance, both the scanning surface and the finger should be
clean and dry. Clean the scanning surface when needed. You can use
adhesive tape to remove dirt and oil from the scanner surface.
It is not recommended that you use the fingerprint scanner in a below-
freezing temperature. The moisture on your finger can freeze to the scanner’s
metal surface when you touch it, resulting in a failed operation. Besides,
touching freezing metal with your finger can cause frostbite.
The fingerprint scanner (if your model has the feature) provides a strong
authentication mechanism based on fingerprint recognition. You can log on
to Windows and dismiss the lock screen with an enrolled fingerprint instead
of a password.
Enrolling a Fingerprint
NOTE:
You can enroll a fingerprint only after creating a password for the
Windows user account.
