Precautions for fingerprint recognition

Ţ When water, dust or other foreign substance is on the Power/Lock

ey or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may not work. Clean and dry your finger before using the fingerprint sensor.

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

Ţ 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.

finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
