Suggested Environment for Optimal Operation

Our biometric registration kits (BRK) are designed for various indoor and outdoor environments.

 Set up indoors, or in a well-shaded area outside

1. Avoid using the kit in direct sunlight, which affects the performance and operation of components.
2. Reading the laptop screen and taking photographs is difficult in direct sunlight or very harsh light.
3. Uniform light is required for applicant photographs. Position applicants for clear photographs without shadows on their faces.
4. Do not use colored semi-transparent overhead covers that create unwanted tints to applicant photographs.

Do not set up near water sources

1. Damage to equipment and/or shock is possible if you set the kit up close to water.
2. If you are operating the kit outside and it rains, power down immediately and disconnect all cables and components, carefully pack up, close and latch the kit - and move indoors.
3. If components and cables get moderately wet, carefully dry them with a clean dry cloth.
4. Electrical cables should never run through water puddles or over wet areas.
5. The kit can withstand some moisture, but water and moisture will damage components.
6. The kit should be kept away from moisture, humidity and water when stored.

Operate and store the kit in a clean environment

1. Dust and dirt damage and degrade the effectiveness of the biometric equipment.
2. The kit can only be used outside in an area that is sheltered from excessive wind and dust.
3. Whether operating inside or outside, regularly wipe down the components in the kit with a soft (microfibre) dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.

Operate the kit in a cool area with ventilation

1. The components of the kit generate heat when in use and more so while charging the batteries.
2. Extreme heat shortens the battery life of the kit and the laptop.
3. If extremely hot conditions are unavoidable, operate the kit near a fan plugged directly into a wall outlet ventilating the room and monitor the heat of the kit (what should they do if it gets hot?).

Power the kit using an electrical outlet, generator or solar panel

1. Keep an electrical adapter in your kit if your region requires one.
2. Always keep the kit fully charged. If no electricity is available, a charged kit can function on battery power for up to 8 hours.
3. Kits must be plugged into a wall outlet that is earthed to avoid shock and damage to the kits. The warranty does not cover damage caused by plugging the kit into a wall outlet that is not earthed.

Internet Access

1. To access the internet and generate a reliable Wi-Fi signal, set the kit up within range of your mobile operator’s network service in remote areas and where a fixed Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi is not provided.
