happens immediately remove Tactivo from the device and let it dry
thoroughly. Do not dry Tactivo using any external sources, such as hair

ngerprint can’t be successfully matched.
If necessary, clean the sensor surface with a clean cotton cloth. You can
dampen the cloth slightly with a cleaner.
Do not use paper tissues for cleaning purposes as they may scratch the
surface.
Do not spray cleaner directly onto the device.
Do not use chlorine-based cleaners, non-chlorine bleach, or chlorine-
based bathroom or mildew cleaners.
Do not use any solvents, such as acetone, paint thinners, turpentine, etc.

ed to stationary and laptop devices running on Windows/OS X for secure authentica-
tion using the smart card.
