AH651 User's Manual
Apacer AH651 comprises public and secure partitions. The public partition is accessible when the
device is plugged into a USB port on any computer, while the secure partition only appears when the
ngerprint or password is authenticated.
When using AH651 for the first time, please run a built-in fingerprint enrolling and management
application that comes with your device on your computer. This application is designed to enroll
ngerprints, manage ngerprint registered to the user and administrator password, and prevent your
personal data from getting hacked and misused for illegitimate purposes by authenticating the identity
of the login user with the enrolled ngerprints or password.
Before enjoying the benets of this product, please follow the steps below to run the application.
AH651 is equipped with the flexible adjustment for the storage capacity divided into a “public
partition” and “secure partition”, allowing you to take the most advantage of the ngerprint ash drive
for the protection of your personal data and condential documents. For more information, please see
“5. Accessing Files”.
●When not in use, the sensor shall be protected with a covering to avoid dust ingression.
●Prevent metal or other hard, sharp objects from scratching the surface of the sensor.
●Keep the sensor dry and clean. Do not wipe or clean the sensor plank with any alcoholic
solution. Gently clean with any soft tissue or cloth.

3.1 Enrolling Fingerprints for Administrators
AH651 can save up to 10 ngerprints: 2 for administrators, 8 for users, and 1 for administrator
password. When using the device for the rst time, you will be required to set up the administrator
password with administrative permission, i.e. Admin. Only when the administrator password is
registered completely, you as administrator can create accounts and enroll ngerprints for general
users.
Every time you want to enroll ngerprints or manage ngerprints that have already been registered,
please run the ngerprint management application.
This chapter explains how to register ngerprints for administrators and users.
To enroll ngerprints for administrators :
1. Double click to launch the application.
2. Register administrator password: Input new password, followed by conrming the new password again.
3. Enrolling Fingerprints
Note :
Enrolling administrator’s ngerprints upon rst use is only supported on Windows XP and later. The device cannot
be used under other environments, such as Mac and Linux, until the enrollment for administrators is completed.
Note :
During the rst time of use of the ngerprint ash drive, please be sure to register the administrator password.
After the registration is completed, if you wish to change the administrator password, please refer to “4. Managing
Administrator and User Accounts”.

AH651 User's Manual
3. Input the name of administrator in the name eld
4. Register administrator ngerprint: Place your nger on the sensor plank with light and even
pressure. We suggest you slightly change the angle of your nger for every attempt, allowing the
system to store ngerprints of the pad, both sides, and tip of your nger. Repeat the step until
the scan of your ngerprint is completed.

with wet cloth and try again.
