Fingerprint recognition
In order for fingerprint recognition to function, your fingerprint information needs to be registered and stored in your device.
· This feature may not be available depending on the carrier or model. · 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 recognise them as identical. · Thick or coloured protective film can affect performance. If you use a screen protector, check to make sure it’s labeled as compatible with the on-screen fingerprint sensor. (such as screen protectors sold by Samsung) · 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 recognised, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the fingerprint, and then re-register your fingerprints. 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. · If you change the screen lock method to Swipe or None, which are not secure, all of your biometric data will be deleted.
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 recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars. · The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers. · To improve recognition performance, register the fingerprints of the fingers used
most often to perform tasks on the device.
142

Settings
· Your device has a built-in fingerprint recognition sensor at the screen. Ensure that the screen protector or the touch screen on the fingerprint recognition sensor area is not scratched or damaged by objects, such as coins, keys, pens, and necklaces.
