Hand placement notes:
CORRECT HAND PLACEMENT
1. Think of landing your hand on the reader like landing a airplane. Slide your
hand forward on the silver surface, until the web post between the middle and
index finger stops you. Keep your hand flat so that you feel the surface of the
platen on the underside of your fingers.
2. Close your fingers together so that each finger touches a post. The red finger
post lights will then go out. If a light stays on, just move that finger closer to the
post.
3. If you wear a ring, be sure the stone is facing up in the normal position.
If
** PLACE HAND **
does not appear, ID number was not accepted. This may be
due to an error in entry.
If you were enrolled with the left hand, palm up, you must also punch using left hand by
placing your palm up on the platen. If the finger position lights located at the hand
outline drawing do not go out, the fingers are not properly positioned at the indicated
pin. The reader will not accept your hand unless the fingers are in the proper position.
Remember to close all fingers on their guide pins.
You must hold your hand on the platen briefly, until the message
**PLACE HAND**
disappears. The display will show the results of the verification attempt. If the
verification was successful, it will display
OKAY XXX
.
XX
X is the ID number. If it
was not, it will display
** TRY AGAIN **
.
If
it displays
** TRY AGAIN **
, and you are authorized to punch, it may mean you
made an error entering your ID number or in placing your hand on the platen. Re-enter
your ID number and try again, taking care to place your hand properly. If you wear
rings, be sure that the stone is facing up in the normal position.
If it displays
TIME RESTRICTION,
you are not authorized to punch in at the this
time. If this seems in error, see your supervisor about time restrictions.
After a pre-programmed number of denied attempts, ID number will no longer be
accepted, and the display will show:
ID REFUSED.
This is called a “lockout.” Before the rejected number can be used again, another
employee or a supervisor must successfully verify at the reader.
If you enter an ID number, but do not place your hand on the platen, the unit will time
out in about 25 seconds. You can reset the unit by pressing CLEAR.
