Basic Operations

18

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:

●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 another 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 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 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 touching 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 tab > Fingerprints & security > Fingerprints.

Note: This feature is available when the secured lock is activated. Lock the device with Knock Code, Pattern, PIN or Password. If the screen lock is not active, configure the lock screen by following the onscreen instructions. See Select Screen Lock for details.

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

Note: Gently press the Power/Lock key so that the sensor can recognize 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.

3.Follow the on-screen instructions.

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

4.When the fingerprint registration is done, tap OK.

Basic Operations

19

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.
