Placing Your Finger Correctly
on the Fingerprint Reader
When you place your finger on the fingerprint reader sensor to identify yourself, please
remember two things:
1. It is important that you use the correct finger. For example, if you place your left
index finger on the sensor, you will not be granted access if the system expects
you to use your left middle finger. When logging on, a screen shows you which
finger you are expected to use – it is marked with a dot.
2. Your finger should be properly positioned on the sensor. Poor positioning and
too much or too little pressure could result in an erroneous reading – which may
prevent you from gaining access to the system.
How to Place Your Finger
• Do not “roll” your finger pad. Slide it on to the sensor so that the centre of your
finger pad is placed in the sensor centre.
• Let the top of your finger pad touch the two dots on top of the fingerprint reader
while pressing the finger pad to the sensor.
• Use medium pressure and avoid rotating your finger. Keep it still when on sensor.
