Fingerprint scanner

You can quickly wake up and unlock the HTC U Play using your fingerprint. You can add up to 5
fingerprints.
When setting up and using the fingerprint scanner, follow these tips:
§ Make sure your finger and the fingerprint scanner are dry and clean.
§ Use the entire pad of your finger, including the sides and tip.
§ When recording your fingerprint, touch the scanner until it vibrates.
§ The fingerprint scanner has 360° readability—you can touch a recorded finger at any angle to
the scanner to turn on the screen or unlock the HTC U Play.
You may not be able to set the fingerprint scanner to unlock HTC U Play, if you've signed in to an
®
Exchange ActiveSync account that requires you to set a different screen lock option (such as
password). Check with your Exchange Server administrator if your Exchange ActiveSync
account supports the fingerprint scanner.

3. Tap Start.
4. Choose which finger or thumb to use, touch the scanner until it vibrates, then lift your finger
