recognition sensor is not scratched or damaged by metal objects, such as coins, keys, and
necklaces.

Covering the fingerprint recognition sensor with protective films, stickers, or other
accessories may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate. If the fingerprint recognition
sensor is initially covered with a protective film, remove it before using the fingerprint
recognition sensor.
