or heavy makeup
•
Ensure that you are in a well-lit area and that the camera lens is clean when registering

Fingerprint recognition
In order for fingerprint recognition to function, your fingerprint information needs to be
registered and stored in your device. After registering, you can set the device to use your
fingerprint for the features below:
•
Screen lock
•
Secure Folder
•
This feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider.
•
Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to
enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor
confusing two different fingerprints is very low. However, in rare cases where
separate fingerprints are very similar the sensor may recognize them as identical.
•
If you use your fingerprint as a screen lock method, your fingerprint cannot be
used to unlock the screen for the first time after turning on the device. To use
the device, you must unlock the screen using the pattern, PIN, or password you
set when registering the fingerprint. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or
password.
•
If your fingerprint is not recognized, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN,
or password you set when registering the fingerprint, and then re-register your
fingerprint. If your pattern, PIN, or password is forgotten, you will not be able to
use the device if you do not reset it. Samsung is not responsible for any data loss or
inconvenience caused by forgotten unlock codes.

For better fingerprint recognition
When you scan your fingerprints on the device, be aware of the following conditions that
may affect the feature’s performance:
•
The device may not recognize fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars.
•
The device may not recognize fingerprints from small or thin fingers.
•
To improve recognition performance, register fingerprints of the hand used most often to
perform tasks on the device.
•
Your device has a built-in fingerprint recognition sensor at the bottom centre of
the screen. Ensure that the screen protector or the touchscreen on the fingerprint
recognition sensor area is not scratched or damaged by objects, such as coins, keys, pens,
and necklaces.
•
Ensure that the fingerprint recognition sensor area at the bottom centre of the screen
and your fingers are clean and dry.
•
If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognize your fingerprints.
Press the screen so that your fingertip spreads over the wide surface of the fingerprint
recognition area.
