LENOVO ThinkPlus Preferred Pro User Manual

Chapter 1. About the Lenovo Preferred Pro USB Fingerprint

Keyboard

This manual provides product description and instructions for installing and using the Lenovo® Preferred Pro USB Fingerprint Keyboard (hereafter called the keyboard).

Product description

This section provides a general description of the keyboard.

The keyboard is equipped with many functions that add convenience and security to your computer. Instead of using a password, the fingerprint reader on the keyboard enables you to swipe your fingerprint to access your computer resources. Because multiple unique fingerprints are available at your fingertips and are stored securely on your computer, you can be assured that your personal information is protected.

Your option package includes the following:

3Fingerprint reader

LED indicators: The keyboard has the following three LED indicators (from left to right):

Numeric Lock LED: When the Numeric Lock LED is on, the numeric keypad on the keyboard is enabled. When the Numeric Lock LED is off, the cursor control on the numeric keypad is enabled. Press the Num Lock (Numeric Lock) key to switch back and forth between these modes.

Caps Lock LED: When the Caps Lock LED is on, the Caps Lock mode is enabled. In this mode, you can type all alphabetic characters (A-Z) in upper case without pressing Shift. When the Caps Lock LED is off, the Caps Lock mode is disabled. Press the Caps Lock key to enable or disable the Caps Lock mode.

Scroll Lock LED: When the Scroll Lock LED is on, the Scroll Lock mode is enabled. The arrow keys can be used as screen-scroll function keys and the cursor cannot be moved with the arrow keys. Not all application programs support this function. When the Scroll Lock LED is off, the arrow keys can be used for cursor control, not as screen-scroll function keys. Press the Scroll Lock key to switch back and forth between these modes.

The ThinkVantage button: For the Microsoft® Windows® XP or Microsoft Windows Vista® operating systems, whenever you have a question about your computer or want to view Lenovo Web sites, press the ThinkVantage button to open the ThinkVantage Productivity Center or the Lenovo CareSM program for comprehensive help and information for your computer.

For the Microsoft Windows 7 operating systems, press the ThinkVantage button to open the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program. The Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program is your one-stop diagnostic solution for quickly identifying and resolving system performance and security problems.

Note: The ThinkVantage Productivity Center program, Lenovo Care program, or Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program comes with your computer. If you do not have any of the programs installed on your computer, pressing the ThinkVantage button will open the Windows System Information window.

Fingerprint reader: With the integrated fingerprint reader, you can enroll your fingerprints and associate them with a power-on password, a hard disk drive password, or both beforehand. Thus the fingerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure user access.

Note: To use fingerprint authentication for power-on and hard disk drive passwords, your system BIOS needs to support the fingerprint recognition. If your computer system BIOS supports fingerprint recognition, you can start the computer, log on to the system, and enter the BIOS Setup Utility program by swiping your finger over the reader, without typing a password.

For more information about systems that support power-on passwords and hard disk driver passwords, refer to "Fingerprint reader settings in the BIOS" on page 10.
