| Warning |

Only one hand guide setting will operate in the cafeteria. Attempts to run both the Child Hand Guide and the Big Hand Guide will result in an error. |

MCS highly recommends to set the Prompt to Start Enrollment option to True for elementary schools. Younger children tend to be reluctant about placing their hand on the guide device. With the Prompt to Start Enrollment option is set to false and the nervousness of the younger children, the children have a tendency to slowly place their hand on the device. This results in only a partial capture of the child's palm. |
