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.

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. Please follow all instructions for use of this feature. For more information, refer to the online support content or visit samsung.com/us/irisscanner.
