Observe the following to improve the fingerprint recognition
success rate.

Enroll additional fingers if recognition failure occurs often
using enrolled fingers.

Check your finger condition. Changed conditions, such
as injured, rough, extremely dry, wet, soiled, dirty, oily,
soaked or swollen fingers, may lower the recognition
success rate. Also if the fingerprint is worn down or the
finger becomes thinner or fatter, the recognition success
rate may be lowered.

The fingerprint for each finger is different and unique.
Please ensure that only the registered or enrolled
fingerprint or fingerprints are used for identification.
