Page 6 Training Your Puppy® Unit
1. The Puppy® unit reads the patterns of ridges and
valleys on the portion of your finger between the tip
and the first bend in your finger. Do not simply put the
tip of your finger on the sensor and hope for the unit to
detect it! And don’t turn your finger to the right or the
left, or place it upside down… use the finger guide on
the device to judge correct finger placement.
Slide the
green shutter up first, and then place your finger
flat and comfortably resting entirely on the sensor
surface, so that it touches the metal plate around
the sensor itself. The tip of your finger should be
resting on the silver latch of the shutter.
See the
images on this page for reference.
2. Be comfortable! Don’t try to use a finger that causes
your hand to be at an uncomfortable angle to your
desktop.
Enroll and use the finger that’s most
convenient and most comfortable.
3. Always be sure to register at least
two fingers when setting up a user.
This way, if you’ve hurt your finger
and have a bandage on it, you still
have a ‘backup’ finger.
4. During enrollment (registration),
do your best to provide consistent
finger placement: THIS IS
CRITICAL.
Good enrollment
enables the unit to provide the best
matching possible during your daily
use of the device, and thus this
process is one of the most important
steps in setting up your Puppy unit.
Don’t rush it!
5. If you typically have dry skin, the Puppy unit may have difficulty reading your finger.
Try touching your finger to your forehead or the side of your nose and then placing your
finger on the unit. The oils will help the sensor to correctly read the ridges and valleys of
your fingerprint.
6. If you typically have very moist skin or tend to perspire a lot, the Puppy unit may have
difficulty reading your finger. Try rubbing your finger on your slacks or sleeve and then
place your finger on the unit.
