CAUTION

We shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever resulting

To protect the ﬁ ngerprint sensor, be sure to close the cover when not

using the ﬁ ngerprint reader.

Overview

Fingerprint’s Outline

The conventional security systems use ID/passwords and token devices such as IC cards to authenticate users. Therefore the passwords and token devices are exposed to the risk of being lost, stolen and hacking. The Fingerprint authentication method uses user’s ﬁ ngerprints instead of passwords for security authentication. You can use your ﬁ ngerprints to start up your computer and log on Windows. We recommend you use the Fingerprint Reader in combination with the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) to increase the security level of your computer.

Precautions

Security Functions

Fingerprint Authentication Technology does not guarantee complete

authentication and individual identiﬁ cation. Please acknowledge we shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever resulting from the use of, or inability to use your Fingerprint device.

The Fingerprint authentication method uses multiple ﬁ ngerprints, encryption

keys, credentials data and passwords. You might not be able to use your data if you lose ﬁ ngerprints, keys, credentials and passwords. Back up the Fingerprint authentication data in a safe place. For further information, refer to “Backup”. (Î page 13)
