Operating Instructions
Once configured, the FPS00200 allows for quick and secure login to your Windows 10 system and compatible applications.
- Logging In: At the Windows login screen, place a registered finger on the sensor. The device will recognize your fingerprint and log you in within approximately one second.
- 360° Recognition: The sensor is designed to recognize your fingerprint regardless of the angle at which you place your finger.
