Gigabyte M1405 User Manual

The touchpad is very simple to use. It represents the mouse pointer 

on screen. Simply use your finger and slide it in the direction you

want the pointer to move. The touchpad reads only 1 finger at a 

time. Do not use anything other than your finger on the touchpad.

The touchpad has two buttons, these serve as the Left and Right 

side mouse buttons like those on a standard mouse. The Left button 

is used to select and manipulate icons, graphics, text and other 

items. The Right button is used to display a Context Options menu 

for the unit’s operating system and/or programs. 

In the center of the two buttons you will notice a Fingerprint Reader.

We will now briefly discuss the use of the fingerprint reader.

The M1405 features a fingerprint reader. It includes a Security 

Tool to use to store your fingerprints and use the tool for quick 

authentication and also remove the need for typed passwords. The 

Fingerprint reader allows you to:

Swipe your finger instead of typing passwords: Can be used for 

websites Applications, Windows Passwords.

Allows the user to protect files and folders and access to them 

requiring the fingerprint to decrypt and allow access.

Log into Windows, Unlock Windows and disable password based 

items such as Screen Saver or Sleep/Hibernation. 

Use the below steps to correctly swipe your finger and record the

needed fingerprint information into the system. This will help you 

to ensure that you do not struggle setting up the security feature. 

Launch the security tool to start the process and follow all on screen 

prompts carefully. 

Line up the finger central to the reader and at the start of the 

fingerprint (Not the tip of your finger, but near the first joint) and then

place this section onto the reader and draw the finger back towards

you, not too fast, so that the scanner can read the print. You will 

be notified if it is a good scan or a bad scan, and it will store once

successful. It is recommended to store more than one fingerprint 

as a precaution; 2 to 3 Prints will be ideal. As you will see in the

illustration below, it will show the ideal way to scan.
