Nomad 30 Pocket Reader 1
Product descri ption
The Nomad 30 Pocket Reader is a PIV-certified, FAP 30 single fingerprint capture device. The device draws power
from the smartphone, tablet, or computer and therefore does not require charging.
A USB OTG cable (included) is required to connect the Nomad to a smartphone, tablet, or computer. In case of
replacement, note that a USB OTG must be the type of cable used. This type of cable allows for power and
communication, providing the ability to transmit fingerprint images.
Integration of the reader utilizes the Crossmatch U.are.U SDK.

Using the reader


After it is connected to a mobile device or computer and receiving power, the Nomad 30 Pocket Reader provides visible
and haptic cues for ease of use.
When the reader is ready to capture a fingerprint, blue LED lights illuminate on both sides of the sensor (referred to as
“landing lights” - see Figure 2).
During a capture, the LED lights turn off and the device vibrates briefly when the fingerprint image quality is good
(typically 1 to 2 seconds).

C a p t u re a f i n g e r p ri n t
Note: A subject’s finger must touch the bezel in order for a fingerprint image to be captured (see bezel area in Figure
2).
1 To capture a fingerprint, have the subject place a finger on the sensor and make sure that the finger is also touching
the bezel.
2 The subject must hold the finger on the sensor and bezel until the reader vibrates and the landing lights turn off,
indicating that the print was captured.

Troubleshooting tips
• A fingerprint that is too light could happen when a finger is dry. To remedy this, have the subject apply
moisturizer. If moisturizer is not available, have the subject touch the forehead in case enough natural oil is
present on the skin.
• A fingerprint that is too dark could happen when a finger is wet or excess oil is present. To remedy this, have the
subject wash hands with soap to remove excess oil and then dry thoroughly.

Power management
When a smartphone, tablet, or laptop is powered on or in sleep mode, a connected Nomad can draw a small amount of
power from it. When the Nomad is not in use, you should always disconnect it from the smartphone, tablet, or laptop to
preserve battery life.

Safety and handling


To prevent the sensor from scratches or other damage, always keep the Nomad in a protective case or covering when
not in use. The sensor can be cleaned gently with a mircofiber cloth.
If you need to remove the Nomad from the case, disconnect the cable and then push up
from the bottom of the case when possible. Grip the device only from the sides to finish
removing it. Do not touch or squeeze the sensor when removing the Nomad from or
returning it to a case.
