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.
NOTE 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.
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.
