Using the fingerprint reader

(select models only)

The fingerprint reader allows you to log on to Microsoft Windows

using a registered fingerprint in ProtectTools Security Manager

instead of using a Windows password.

Two steps are required for your first logon to Windows using the

fingerprint reader:

1. Set up the fingerprint reader.

2. Use your registered fingerprint to log on to Windows.

Set up the fingerprint reader

To set up the fingerprint reader:

1. In Windows, double-click the Credential Manager icon in

the notification area of the taskbar.

– or –

Select Start > All Programs > ProtectTools Security

Manager, and then click the Credential Manager tab, which

is located on the left.

2. On the “My Identity” page, click Log On,located in the

upper-right corner of the page.

The Credential Manager Logon Wizard opens.

3. On the “Introduce Yourself” page, click Next to accept the

default user name.

✎If there are other users registered on this computer, you can

select the person whose fingerprints need to be registered by

entering the Windows user name.

4. On the “Enter Password” page, enter the user’s Windows

password, if one has been established. Otherwise, click

Finish.

5. On the “My Services and Applications” page, click Register

Fingerprints.

✎By default, Credential Manager requires registration of

at least 2 different fingers.

6. When the Credential Manager Registration Wizard opens,

slowly swipe your finger downward over the fingerprint

reader.

✎The right index finger is the default finger for enrolling the

first fingerprint. You can change the default by clicking

the finger you want to register first, on either the left hand

or the right hand. When you click a finger, it will be outlined

to show it has been selected.

7. Continue swiping the same finger on the fingerprint reader

until the finger on the screen turns green.

✎The progress indicator progresses after each finger swipe.

Multiple swipes are necessary to register a fingerprint.

✎If you need to start over during the fingerprint registration

process, right-click the highlighted finger on the screen and

then click Start Over.

8. Click a different finger on the screen to register, and then

repeat steps 6 and 7.

ÄYou must register at least 2 fingers in order to complete the

setup.

✎If you click Finish before registering at least 2 fingers, an

error message is displayed. Click OK to continue.

9. After you have registered at least 2 fingers, click Finish,

and then click OK.

10. To set up the fingerprint reader for a different Windows

user, log on to Windows as that user and then repeat

steps 1 through 9.

Use your registered fingerprint to log on to

Windows

To log on to Windows using your fingerprint:

1. Immediately after you have registered your fingerprints,

restart Windows.

2. In the upper-left corner of the screen, click Log on to

Credential Manager.

3. At the Credential Manager Logon Wizard dialog box,

instead of clicking a user name, swipe one of your registered

fingers to log on to Windows.

4. Enter your Windows password to associate the fingerprint

with the password.

✎When you log on to Windows the first time using your

fingerprint, and you have a Windows password, you must

enter the password in order to associate the password with

the fingerprint. After the password has been associated

with the fingerprint, you will not need to enter the password

again when using the fingerprint reader.

Using the TouchPad

To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad

surface in the direction you want the pointer to go. Use the

TouchPad buttons as you would the corresponding buttons on an

external mouse. To scroll up and down using the TouchPad

vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up and down over the lines.

✎If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must

lift your finger off the TouchPad before moving it to the scroll

zone. Simply sliding your finger from the TouchPad to the

scroll zone will not activate the scrolling function.

To move the pointer, press the pointing stick in the direction

you want the pointer to go. Use the pointing stick buttons as you

would the corresponding buttons on an external mouse.

Using an external mouse

An external USB mouse can be connected to the computer using

one of the USB ports on either side of the computer. A USB

mouse can also be connected to the system using the ports on an

optional docking device (select models only).
