Operation of the touchscreen

z Operate the touchscreen with your finger or with an approved stylus
When using the touchscreen function, use only your finger or an approved stylus on the surface.
Operating the touchscreen with an object other than your fingertip or the stylus (a fingernail or metal object, or other hard
or sharp objects that may leave a mark) may scar or stain the surface, causing the touchscreen to malfunction.
z Do not apply too much pressure when operating the touchscreen

Only a light touch is required to operate the touchscreen. Applying too much pressure may damage the surface.
Maintaining the performance of the touchscreen

z When the touchscreen becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
The touchscreen is specially treated to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface, so dirt can be removed easily using a dry
cloth. If the dirt does not come off easily, breathe on the surface and try again.
Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.
For more information, refer to “Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface” (Î page 11).
z Clean the touchscreen while the computer is powered off

Cleaning the screen while the power is on may cause the computer to malfunction. Also, dirt on the touchscreen is easier
to see when the computer is powered off, and so is easier to clean.
z Wash the soft cloth when it becomes dirty

When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner (softener), or try to
sterilize the cloth by boiling.
If the soft cloth is dirty, it may be ineffective in cleaning the touchscreen, and in fact may cause dirt to adhere to the touch-
screen.
Touchscreen 11
z Check the following to prevent the surface of the touchscreen from being scratched
z Are you using your finger or a stylus to operate the touchscreen?
z Is the surface clean?
z Is the soft cloth clean?
z Are you using the stylus with the tip extended?
z Is the tip of the stylus clean?
z Is your finger clean?
Things to keep in mind when using the touchscreen

z Do not touch the screen outside of the LCD display area
The touchscreen input area is defined by the LCD display screen. Touching the screen outside of the display area may
result malfunctions or damage to the touchscreen.
z Do not apply excessive force to the touchscreen

Do not lift the computer while holding the LCD screen, or allow the screen to be twisted. Do not place any objects on the
LCD screen. Any of the above may cause the touchscreen glass to break, or may damage the LCD screen.
z Operation response may be slower in low temperature environments

The touchscreen may respond to operations more slowly when using the computer in temperatures less than 5°C, but this
is not a malfunction. Response time will return to normal when the computer is returned to room temperature.
z If the cursor jumps to a location other than where the screen was touched, or if the LCD reso-
lution changes, recalibrate the touchscreen
Perform the procedure of “Touchscreen Calibration” (Î page 12).
Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface

To improve the outdoor visibility of the display, a low reflection coating has been added. In order to avoid scratches and peel-
ing of this coating, an approved soft cloth has been included to wipe the LCD surface of the computer. Before using the com-
puter, be sure to read the instructions provided below.
• Be sure to wipe the LCD display to remove fingerprints, etc., with the soft cloth.
• Do not wipe areas other than the LCD display with the soft cloth.
Touchscreen 12
<How to use the soft cloth>

• Use the soft cloth when it is dry. Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.
• First, lightly wipe foreign particles and dust adhering to the LCD display on one side of the soft cloth. Do not use force,
since the LCD surface may be damaged with the foreign particles or dust.
Next, wipe off fingerprint, etc., with the other side of the soft cloth.
After wiping off foreign particles and dust, wash the soft cloth (refer to the following) to remove the foreign particles and
dust from the soft cloth.
• When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with neutral detergent. Do not use bleach or a fabric conditioner (softener), or
carry out sterilization by boiling.
• If the LCD gets wet, wipe the surface lightly with the soft cloth.
• While wiping the LCD display, the computer must be turned off.

Overview
Fingerprint’s Outline
The conventional security systems use ID/passwords and token devices such as IC cards to authenticate users. Therefore
the passwords and token devices are exposed to the risk of being lost, stolen and hacking.
The Fingerprint authentication method uses user’s fingerprints instead of passwords for security authentication. You can use
your fingerprints to start up your computer and log on Windows.
We recommend you use the Fingerprint Reader in combination with the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) to increase the secu-
rity level of your computer.

injury) If you enrolled multiple fingers, simply use other finger. If you only enrolled one
finger that can be used, we recommend to use the [Enroll or Edit Fingerprints]
wizard and enroll additional fingerprints.
If none of your enrolled fingers can be used, follow this procedure:

You can always access the computer by using your Windows log on
password. In convenient mode, any user can access the computer by
using your Windows log on password.
B Update the enrolled fingerprints.
To be able to fully use Protector Suite QL, you need to have usable
enrolled fingerprints. Enter the [Enroll or Edit Fingerprints] wizard.
• If you do not use [Advanced Security], you can still enter using the Windows
password.
• If you use [Advanced Security] with backup password, you can enter using
the backup password.
• If you use [Advanced Security] without backup password, there is no other
way to add a different fingerprint. In this case we recommend either to wait
until your finger is usable again (e.g. the injury heals), or to delete the
passport (Use [Delete] wizard) and then reenroll new fingerprints.
Please note that in the latter case all your stored secret data (passwords, [File
Safe] encryption keys) will be lost. To perform the delete operation it is
necessary to cancel the fingerprint verification operation to get to the
password dialog, then enter your Windows log on password.
• To access [File Safe]
If you did not perform the procedure in step B or it did not work, you can still
access [File Safe] by using the [File Safe] backup password.

TPM failure. z If you use [Advanced Security] with TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and TPM is
broken, erased or disabled, the [Advanced Security] will not work anymore.
If you do not use the [Advanced Security] backup password, refer to “Starting
Over” (Î page 72). Otherwise, if you use [Advanced Security] backup
password, you can follow these steps:
A Enter the [Enroll or Edit Fingerprints] wizard using the backup password.
B Disable [Advanced Security] and finish.
C After the TPM is repaired and enabled (or if you only erased its contents)
you can enter the [Enroll or Edit Fingerprints] wizard again using your finger
and enable the [Advanced Security] with TPM again.
Replacing sensor. z If you need to replace a non-functioning fingerprint reader, follow this proce-
dure.
Enrollment to the hard disk:
If enrollment to hard disk is used, “Protector Suite QL” has not stored any data
on the device and therefore has no problem to continue after you replaced the
sensor. However, in case you use the Power-on security (Preboot Authentica-
tion), you may need to use the [Enroll or Edit Fingerprints] wizard to update the
related data.
Enrollment to the device:
If the fingerprint has been enrolled to the device, a new passport will be
required. Follow the procedure in the section “Starting Over” (Î page 72).
Lost [Advanced Security] backup z To change the [Advanced Security] backup password, go to the [Enroll or Edit
password. Fingerprints] wizard and swipe your finger and go through the Fingerprint
enrollment. On the Advanced Security page you can change the backup pass-
word.
Protector Suite QL reinstallation. z During Protector Suite QL uninstallation, you can select whether to delete the
Protector Suite Data - including passports.
z If you want to reinstall the product, select button to leave the Protector Suite QL
data on the computer.
After the new installation, you will be able to use your data again.
z If the Protector Suite QL was uninstalled including the passports, then in case
of enrollment to device the fingerprints will still be stored in the device and the
user can use them reenrollment.

backup password, instead.

Safe] backup password: [File Safe] will recognize that the installation was
changed and will offer to use the backup password, instead.
Removing data from the Reader. z When enrollment to the device is used, passport data is stored to the device. To
remove it, go to the [Delete] passport wizard and delete existing passports, and then
use the [Fingerprint Storage Inspector] to remove remaining fingerprints (e.g.
left over from previous installations).
z In convenient mode, the [Fingerprint Storage Inspector] does not allow deleting
the last fingerprint for an existing passport and only user’s own fingerprints can
be deleted. Therefore it is necessary to delete passports first.
