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.
NOTE Your fingerprint can be used by the device for user identification. Ver y similar fingerprints
from different users may be recognized by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.
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.

This feature allows you to conveniently update the firmware on your device
to a newer version from the Internet without needing to visit a service
center. This feature will only be available if and when LG makes a newer
firmware version available for your device.
Because the mobile device firmware update requires the user’s full
attention for the duration of the update process, please make sure you
check all instructions and notes that appear at each step before proceeding.

Anti-Theft Guide
You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it’s been
reset to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your
device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or
screen lock information can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen
lock set, the device can’t be erased using the Settings menu unless your
screen is unlocked.
Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but
you have your Google account on it, the device can’t finish the setup
process until your Google account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you’ll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset. This
ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
NOTEDo not forget the Google account and password you had added to your device prior
to performing a factory reset. If you can’t provide the account information during the
setup process, you won’t be able to use the device at all after performing the factory
reset.
