1. Choose MENU
2. Choose Autotest
3. Choose Test Face
4. Make sure the camera module display a normal picture and an infrared picture
*If one or both don't display properly, there is a high possibility that the camera module is defective. Email FingerTec support at support@fingertec.com for assistance.
5. After testing the camera, choose Back to start the camera calibration mode.
6. Choose RTC Test
7. The device will show 00(s) : 0(ms)

Wait until the time runs to 01(s) : ++(ms) and click one more time to stop it.
Repeat 3 times.
9. After done, choose Back
10. Choose Test Face
11. To confirm that the device is in the camera calibration mode, both displays are in black and white, and the screen has a Save icon on the top right corner
12. Place your face in front of the camera and place it according to the display box.
Do the step until the bar reaches 140 and above, and that the face displays have nearly the same size and display quality. Once this step is done, your camera is good to go.
