finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.

• If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may

not be recognized. Make sure that your finger covers the entire surface of the Power/Lock key.

• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one

finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
