For the fingerprint scanner to function properly, it is essential to maintain a clean surface, without dust or scratches.
Though the biometric fingerprint reader is quite tolerant to the residues left on the surface, it performs optimally when it is kept clean. Proper maintenance of fingerprint scanners is essential to give them a longer lifespan, ensure hygiene and sustain their workability.
For best practices you can follow our biometric fingerprint sensor recommended cleaning guidelines:
How to clean a fingerprint sensor in 5 simple steps
✔ Step 1: Disconnect the device from the power supply.
✔ Step 2: Moisten a lint-free cloth (not paper or tissue) with (1-2ml) ethanol in a concentration of 75%.
