not recognize, please have a look at the FAQs that
are regularly published on our Web site –

If you are having problems with your LaCie
SAFE Hard Drive, see section 8. Troubleshooting
Your LaCie Drive .
Try the following things if the fingerprint sen-
sor does not recognize you:
Make sure the front of the drive is facing you.
Make sure your finger is positioned properly. It
should be flat and resting entirely on the sensor
surface so that it touches the metal plate around
the sensor itself.
Try using the other registered finger.
Try keeping your finger on the sensor for a lon-
ger period of time.
Clean the sensor with a dry tissue or cloth.
If you have dry skin, try touching your finger to
your forehead or the side of your nose and then
placing your finger on the sensor.
If you have moist skin, try rubbing your finger
on your slacks or shirt sleeve and then place your
finger on the unit.
Disconnect and then reconnect the drive.
