Using Fingerprint Authentication Function

Fingerprint Authentication Function
Fingerprint authentication can be performed by sliding your finger across Fingerprint Sensor. Use this function to unlock screen, activate applications, etc.
Fingerprint Authentication Function Usage Notes
Observe the following when using the fingerprint authentication function.
・Fingerprint authentication is based on the feature
information of a fingerprint image. Fingerprint authentication may be unavailable for users whose fingerprints have relatively small features.
・Authentication performance (likelihood of successful
authentication when your finger is slid across Fingerprint Sensor correctly) varies with usage status. If your finger is in any of the following conditions, saving your fingerprint may be difficult or fingerprint authentication performance may degrade. Note that authentication performance may be improved by taking appropriate action according to your finger's condition (e.g., by washing your hand, wiping your hand, or using a different finger for authentication). ・Wrinkled with moisture (e.g., after a bath) ・Dry ・Fingerprint grooves are covered with sweat or grease from finger ・Stained with mud or oil ・Wet with sweat or other liquid ・Rough or damaged (cut, sore, etc.) ・Fingerprint is faint (finger surface is worn) ・Fingerprint is deformed due to weight gain or loss ・Finger surface condition at the time of authentication is extremely different than when fingerprint was saved
・Fingerprint authentication technology does not guarantee
successful personal authentication/verification. SoftBank Corp. is not liable for any damages resulting from use of handset by third party or lost opportunities to use handset.
Screen is unlocked.
・For enhanced security, set handset to require pattern
drawing or password/Lock No. passcode entry for unlocking screen as needed. See "Lock & Security Settings" for details.
Other Methods for Turning On Display
Set Display to turn on when handset is picked up (Grip Magic) or when Display is Flicked (Sweep ON). See "Operating by Gripping Handset (Grip Magic)" and "On/Off
with Motion Settings" for details.

Fingerprint Sensor Usage Notes
Observe the following when using Fingerprint Sensor.
・Do not strike the sensor or subject it to strong impact.
May result in breakage or malfunction. In addition, do not scratch the sensor surface or poke it with a sharp object (a ballpoint pen, pin, etc.).
・Do not place a sticker, label, etc. on or apply ink to the
Fingerprint Sensor surface. If dust or grease is adhered to the sensor, scanning fingerprints may be difficult or fingerprint authentication performance may degrade. Clean the Fingerprint Sensor surface from time to time.
・Do not slide your finger too fast or too slow; fingerprint
may not be recognized correctly. Slide your finger as straight as possible so that the center of the whorl of your fingerprint passes the center of Fingerprint Sensor.
・Fingerprint Sensor may not activate if you start saving
your fingerprint or performing authentication with your finger on the sensor. Release it and retry.
Performing Fingerprint Authentication
Software Updates
At specified time, handset automatically checks for/downloads firmware updates as required.
・Software Update cannot be performed if application or
function is in use.
・Alternatively, update firmware manually.
Software Update Cautions
Applications
Applications may be updated or newly added, or names, icons, operations and user interfaces of applications may be changed.
During Update
Handset cannot be used until Software Update completes; it may take some time to complete.
Data Backup
Saved data may be lost depending on condition of handset (malfunctioning, damaged, water seepage, etc.). It is recommended that you back up important data before updating software. SoftBank Corp. is not responsible for damages from loss of data.
・
Set screen unlock option to Fingerprint beforehand. See
"Lock & Security Settings" for details.
In screen for fingerprint authentication, slide your finger pad across center of Fingerprint Sensor
Fingerprint is authenticated.
If Not Authenticated
Release your finger from Fingerprint Sensor and retry.
Updating Software Manually
Operate handset where signal reception is good and without changing location. Also operate with adequate battery charge. Signal becoming weak or Battery becoming low during an update may cause an update failure.
・Remove Micro USB Cable (optional accessory) from handset
beforehand; otherwise, Software Update may not complete properly.
・An update failure may disable handset.
