Using Fingerprint Authentication Function

Fingerprint Authentication Function
Fingerprint authentication can be performed by touching Fingerprint Sensor with your finger. 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. Fingerprint authentication may be unavailable for users whose fingerprints have relatively small features.
・Authentication performance (likelihood of successful
authentication when you touch 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, using a different finger for authentication, or saving a wider part of your finger). ・Wrinkled with moisture (e.g., after a bath) ・Wet with water, sweat or other liquid ・Dry ・Greasy (with hand cream, etc.) ・Stained with mud or oil ・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, password/Lock No. entry, or fingerprint authentication 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

Fingerprint Saving Operations
Setting/Changing Names of Saved Fingerprints
Observe the following when using Fingerprint Sensor.
・Do not strike Fingerprint 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 Fingerprint Sensor,
scanning fingerprints may be difficult or fingerprint authentication performance may degrade. Clean the Fingerprint Sensor surface from time to time.
・If the contact time is too short or too long, fingerprint
may not be recognized correctly. Hold your finger as straight as possible so that the center of the whorl of your fingerprint touches the center of the 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.
