The default setting has been pre-selected. You can adjust the viewing distance
according to your needs.
Note:
1. Ensure the lens of the camera is clearly visible and not covered.
2. Ensure your eyes are clearly visible and not covered.
(The function that detects the distance between the user and monitor
is based on the position of the users eyes. Therefore, if the eyes are
covered or there is a strong reflection, distance detection may be
affected.)
Wearing glasses may affect the accuracy of the face image verification.
3. The limits for distance detection by the camera:
Minimum distance : approx. 20 centimters (7.90 inches)
Maximum distance : approx. 70 centimeters (27.55 inches)
Pitch angle (angle of rotation of the face in the vertical plane):
Elevation: 20 degrees
Depression: 30 degrees
Horizontal angle of rotation (angle of rotation of the face in the horizontal
plane): between -20 and +20 degrees

If a peripheral device does not work, ensure that the device is properly
connected.
If an error message appears on the screen, write down the exact message.
This message may help support personnel diagnose and fix the problem(s).
If an error message occurs in a program, see the programs documentation.

Problem: The capacity of the hard disk, as indicated by the system, is less than
the nominal capacity.
Troubleshooting and problem resolution: For computers equipped with the
OneKey Recovery feature, the system recovery feature needs to occupy some
hard disk space. This may account for the apparent hard disk capacity deficit.
Further Technical Explanation: The nominal capacity of the hard disk is
expressed in the decimal system, 1000 bytes. But the actual hard disk capacity is
expressed in the binary system as 1024 bytes (For example, the nominal capacity
1G is 1000M, while the actual capacity 1G is 1024M).
The capacity of the hard disk shown in Windows can be calculated according to
the calculations in the following example:
The nominal capacity of the hard disk is 40G, while its actual capacity
should be: 40x1000x1000x1000/(1024x1024x1024) = 37G.
If the Service partition of 3G - 3x1000x1000x1000/(1024x1024x1024)
= 2.79G is subtracted, the capacity of the hard disk shown in the system
can be obtained.
The capacity of the hard disk as calculated using this method may be slightly
different from the actual capacity due to the rounding of totals.
