2.

If these residents cannot use the joint inspection automated channels (joint automated inspection channels) for certain reasons (e.g. damage of the chip embedded in their identity document, failure to have the biometics such as fingerprint or facial images compared, wheelchair user or oversize luggage, etc.), they can use the manned inspection channels. Likewise, children from the Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao who are holders of the above documents but unable to use the joint inspection automated channels owing to age or height restrictions can also use the manned inspection channels.
