Fingerprint recognition

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.

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 has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the fingerprint sensor is not damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or key. If you replace the protective film on the product with a polarized film that diffuses the light or a film that is too thick, it may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate.
• If there are foreign substances (sweat, lotion, water, dirt, grease, etc.) on the fingerprint sensor or on the finger to be put on the sensor, fingerprint recognition may not work properly. Wipe the sensor and the finger clean and remove all moisture before putting the finger on the sensor.
• If the finger’s surface is rough due to it being scarred or pruney from water, the sensor may not be able to recognize the fingerprint. In such a case, register another finger’s fingerprint.
• 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 a coin or a key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Place your finger on the sensor and hold it until you feel a vibration.

Move the same finger around on the sensor a little by little until the fingerprint registration is complete.

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

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 a preventative measure, register multiple fingerprints.
