Custom-designed Features

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 the locked content in the 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 recognised by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.

•If the device cannot detect your fingerprint, or you forgot the value specified for registration, visit the nearest LG Customer Service Centre with your device and ID card.

Precautions for fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of reasons. To maximise the recognition accuracy, check the following before using the device.

•The device’s Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the Power/Lock key is not damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or key.

•When water, dust or other foreign substance is on the Power/Lock key or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may not work. Clean and dry your finger before having the fingerprint recognised.

•A fingerprint may not be recognised properly if the surface of your finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.

Custom-designed Features

•If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may not be recognised. 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.

•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 coin or key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity.

Registering fingerprints

You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use fingerprint identification.

1 Tap Settings General Lock screen & security Fingerprints.

• A lock screen must be set in order to be able to use this feature.

•If the screen lock is not active, configure the lock screen by following the on-screen instructions. See Setting a screen lock for details.

2Locate the Power/Lock key on the back of the device and gently put your finger on it to register the fingerprint.

• Gently press the Power/Lock key so that the sensor can recognise your fingerprint. If you press the Power/Lock key with an excessive force, the screen lock function may start or the screen may be turned off.

•Ensure that your fingertip covers the entire surface of the sensor of the Power/Lock key.

Custom-designed Features

3Follow the on-screen instructions.

•Repeat scanning the fingerprint by moving your finger little by little until the fingerprint registers.

4When the fingerprint registration is done, tap OK.

•Tap ADD MORE to register another fingerprint. If you register only one fingerprint and the corresponding finger is not in a good condition, the fingerprint recognition may not work well. As the preventive measure against this kind of situation, register multiple fingerprints.

Managing fingerprints

You can edit or delete registered fingerprints.

1Tap Settings General Lock screen & security Fingerprints.

2Unlock according to the specified lock method.

3From the fingerprint list, tap a fingerprint to rename it. To delete it, tap .

Custom-designed Features

1Tap Settings General Lock screen & security Fingerprints.

2Unlock according to the specified lock method.

3On the fingerprint settings screen, activate the desired function:

•Screen lock: Unlock the screen with a fingerprint.

Face Recognition

Face Recognition overview

You can unlock the screen lock by using the saved facial data.

• This feature may be more vulnerable to security than the other screen locks, such as Knock Code, Pattern, PIN, and Password.

•When a similar face or a photo of your face is used, the screen may be unlocked.

•The recognised facial data is securely stored in your device.

•When the face recognition is selected for screen lock, you must enter the Knock Code, Pattern, PIN, or Password that has been used for face registration without directly using the face recognition after the power is turned on. Accordingly, be careful not to forget the specified value.

•If the device cannot detect your face, or you forgot the value specified for registration, visit the nearest LG Customer Service Centre with your device and ID card.

•To save power, the Face Recognition feature will not work when the battery level is below 5 %.

Custom-designed Features

Precautions for Face Recognition

Face Recognition accuracy may decrease in the following cases. To increase its accuracy, check the following before using the device.

•When your face is covered with a hat, eyeglasses, or mask, or your face is significantly different due to heavy makeup or beard.

•When there are fingerprints or foreign substances on the front of the camera lens, or your device cannot detect your face due to a too bright or dark light.

Registering facial data
