Learn About Your Device
Iris Scanner
Use iris recognition as an alternative to entering passwords in certain
apps. You can also use your irises to verify your identity when logging
in to your Samsung account.
Warning
: Some people may have dizziness, seizures, epileptic seizures
or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, even if they have
never had a seizure or blackout before. Anyone who has had a seizure,
loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition,
or has a family history of such symptoms or conditions, should see a
doctor before using the Iris scanner.
DO NOT stare directly into the infrared iris recognition LED as
prolonged use can cause eye strain. Do not stare at the iris recognition
LED light when your eyes are less than 20 cm (~8 inches) away
from the device, for best results keep your eyes between 25‑35 cm
(~10 14 inches) away for optimum recognition.
Note
: The Iris scanner is not intended to be used as a medical
device and the biometric data collected and stored locally by the
mechanism is not intended to be used for any diagnostic, therapeutic,
or preventative purposes. Please follow all instructions for use of this
feature.
For best results, remove eyeglasses and sunglasses. Do not use the
Iris scanner in bright sunlight or areas with excessive reflected light
(for example, by the pool or seashore). Do not use the Iris scanner in
low light. Look straight at the device (not up, down or sideways), and
hold your head still for the scan. Tinted contact lenses and surgically
repaired or replaced iris lenses may interfere with operation of the Iris
scanner. Do not walk or operate a vehicle while using the Iris scanner.
