1.1 Safety information 
Caution! – The battery used in this product may present a risk of fire or burns if 
misused. Do not charge or open the battery. Do not heat it to over 100°C or burn it. 
Do not short-circuit.
Only use batteries which have been approved by SimonsVoss. 
Dispose of old and used batteries in the correct way. Keep out of the reach of 
children. 
Reversing the polarities may cause damage to the Q3008 biometric reader. 
Do not allow the Q3008 biometric reader to become dirty or scratched. Do not drop it 
or subject it to any other sudden impact. 
It is essential to ensure that the device does not come into direct contact with 
moisture and is not exposed to temperatures below +5°C. 
The biometric reader is for indoor use only. 
Master finger mode should only be used when the device is installed in a secure 
indoor location and with a very small number of doors. 
Program the reader as soon as it is commissioned to prevent any risk of misuse. 
If the reader fails to recognise a finger, or does not recognise it correctly, this does 
not necessarily mean there is a defect. SimonsVoss Technologies AG accepts no 
liability for poor recognition caused by skin dryness or the physical structure of the 
finger.
