8.1.1 Description
In addition to the sensor light, there are two LEDs to provide information to the user:
when the sensor light is on, it usually means that the device is waiting for the user to
place a finger on the sensor,
the upper led is mainly used for smart card reader status (MSO35x only),
the lower led is mainly used for biometric process status.
The tables below describe the meaning of the light signals.
