Fingerprint Recognition - LG G8X ThinQ User Manual

Fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition overview
You must register your fingerprint on your device first before using the
fingerprint recognition function.
You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
• To unlock the screen.
• To view the locked content in the Gallery or QuickMemo+.
• Confirm a purchase by signing in to an app or identifying yourself with
your fingerprint.
• You can use fingerprint data for user authentication. There is a
possibility that the fingerprint sensor might recognize a different but
very similar fingerprint as the same registered fingerprint. To strengthen
security, it is recommended that you use the pattern, PIN, or password
method for unlocking the screen.
• If the device cannot detect your fingerprint, or you forgot the value
specified for registration, visit the nearest LG Customer Service Centre
with your device and ID card.
Precautions for fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of
reasons. To maximize the recognition accuracy, check the following before
using the device.
• At the bottom centre of the product' s screen, there is a built-in sensor
that recognizes fingerprints. Be careful not to scratch or damage the
fingerprint sensor with metal objects such as coins or keys.
• If you replace the protective film on the product with a polarized film
that diffuses the light or a film that is too thick, it may decrease the
fingerprint recognition rate.
