4.3 MSO301 devices specificities
The MSO terminals of the MSOxx1 series have security enhanced features. These terminals
integrate a specific mechanism (IDEMIA patents) enabling the device to detect fake fingers,
such as paper copied ones.
MSO301 terminals include this mechanism.
The MSOxx1 must be connected to the ground to avoid erratic behavior, so USB hub must
provide a continuous ground between the input socket and the output socket.
4.4 Specific Cleaning Precautions
It is recommended to clean the sensor when it is dirty.
It is recommended to use a blowgun before rag in case users brought sand or hard
dust with their fingers. Use compressed gas for electronic devices to avoid
electrostatic discharges.
In order to eliminate organic marks, a weekly cleaning is required. In this case, using a rag
moistened with diluted dishwashing liquid is advised.
It is advised to clean the sensor after 1000 uses, with a lightly damp rag, to dry it and to
wait a few minutes before starting up again the terminal.
The cleaning material for sensor must be a soft material to prevent scratches:
Hard dust and sand can scratch products and can damage MSO xx1 OEM and
MSO301/351
To disinfect the terminal, moisten a non-abrasive wipe with the disinfectant Windex®
Multi-Surface (or similar product containing L-Lactic acid) and wipe the device’s surface and
leave the surface wet with disinfectant for at least 5 minutes.
