print sensor still does not recognize, please have a look

If you are having problems with your LaCie d2
SAFE Hard Drive, see chapter
11. Troubleshooting
.
Try the following things if the fingerprint sensor
does not recognize you:
Make sure the front of the drive is facing you.
❖
Make sure your finger is positioned properly. It
should be flat and resting entirely on the sensor sur-
face so that it touches the metal plate around the sen-
sor itself.
Try using the other registered finger.
Try keeping your finger on the sensor for a longer
period of time.
Clean the sensor with a dry tissue or cloth.
If you have dry skin, try touching your finger to your
forehead or the side of your nose and then placing
your finger on the sensor.
If you have moist skin, try rubbing your finger on
your slacks or shirt sleeve and then place your finger
on the unit.
Disconnect and then reconnect the drive.
