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.
•
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.
•
Ensure that the fingerprint recognition sensor area and your fingers are clean and
dry.
•
If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognise your
fingerprints. Press the screen so that your fingertip spreads over the wide surface of
the fingerprint recognition area.
