Protect Tactivo mini from any kind of physical damage.

Ensure that you are electrostatically discharged before putting your fi nger on the sensor. High electrostatic discharges might damage the fi ngerprint sensor.

Keep the sensor surface clean or there is an increased risk that the fi ngerprint can’t be successfully matched.

If necessary, clean the sensor surface with a clean cotton cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with a cleaner.

Do not use paper tissues for cleaning purposes as they may scratch the surface.

Do not spray cleaner directly onto the device.

Do not use chlorine-based cleaners, non-chlorine bleach, or chlorinebased bathroom or mildew cleaners.

Do not use any solvents, such as acetone, paint thinners, turpentine, etc.
