similar fingerprints from different users may be recognized 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.

Custom-designed Features 11

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.

• Ensure that the fingerprint sensor is not damaged by a metallic object,

such as coin or key.

• When water, dust or other foreign substance is on the fingerprint

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

• A fingerprint may not be recognized properly if the surface of your

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 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 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.

Tap and swipe up on the Home screen.

Tap Settings Security & location Fingerprint.

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

your fingerprint.

• Ensure that your fingertip covers the entire surface of the sensor.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

• Repeat scanning the fingerprint by moving your finger little by little

until the fingerprint registers.

When the fingerprint registration is done, tap Done.

• Tap Add fingerprint 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.
