Using the Fingerprint Reader
You can increase the security of the data stored in your iPAQ
Pocket PC by using the iPAQ Fingerprint Reader. This feature
allows you to require a PIN, password, and/or fingerprint be
entered before you can log on to your iPAQ Pocket PC.
Ä
CAUTION: In the event that an incorrect or unsuccessful PIN,
password, and/or fingerprint is repeatedly or incorrectly entered, all
data and programs stored in RAM are erased and the iPAQ Pocket
PC is returned to the as-shipped configuration. It is recommended that
you back up all data frequently when using the security features.
It is recommended that you complete the fingerprint reader
training on your iPAQ Pocket PC prior to changing your security
settings.
