    Setting Up a CapeClock with a Fingerprint Reader
  Introduction

The fingerprint sensor is a rugged solid-state device designed to provide years of trouble-free service. Although maintenance and handling requirements for the sensor are few, observance of a few basics in caring for it will help to ensure a high level of performance over the life of the sensor.

 Cleaning Instructions

Oily deposits from your finger accumulate on the surface of the fingerprint sensor after repeated use. These deposits can inhibit the functionality of the sensor. It is recommended that the sensor be cleaned at least once per week, but it should also be cleaned anytime an oily residue is visible on the sensor surface.

Use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and a clean cotton cloth or tissue paper to remove oily deposits. Do not use a soiled cloth or tissue paper to clean the sensor. A clean cotton cloth or tissue paper will absorb the deposits, but a soiled cloth will smear the deposits over the sensor surface.
