Fingerprint Recognition
Fingerprint recognition overview
You must register your fingerprint on your device first before using the fingerprint recognition function.
You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
• To unlock the screen.
• To view locked contents in Gallery or QuickMemo+.
• Confirm a purchase by signing in to an app or identifying yourself with
your fingerprint.
• Your fingerprint can be used by the device for user identification. Very
similar fingerprints from different users may be recognized by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint. For added security, set the screen lock using a pattern, PIN or Password.
• If the device cannot detect your fingerprint, or you forget the value
specified for registration, contact the LG Authorized Service Center.
Precautions for fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of reasons. To maximize the recognition accuracy, check the following before using the device.
• At the bottom center of the product’s screen, there is a built-in sensor
that recognizes fingerprints. Be careful not to scratch or damage the fingerprint sensor with metal objects such as coins or keys.
• If you replace the protective film on the product with a polarized film
that diffuses the light or a film that is too thick, it may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate.
Custom-designed Features 15
• If there are foreign substances (sweat, lotion, water, dirt, grease, etc.)
on the fingerprint sensor or on the finger to be put on the sensor, fingerprint recognition may not work properly. Wipe the sensor and the finger clean and remove all moisture before putting the finger on the sensor.
• If the finger’s surface is rough due to it being scarred or pruney from
water, the sensor may not be able to recognize the fingerprint. In such a case, register another finger’s fingerprint.
• 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 fingerprint sensor.
• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one
finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
• The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is dry.
If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a metallic object such as a coin or a key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity.
