Iris recognition The iris recognition feature uses the unique characteristics of your irises, such as their shape and pattern, to strengthen the security of your device. Your iris data can be used for various authentication purposes. After registering your irises, you can set the device to use your irises for the following features: • Samsung Pass (Samsung account verification and web sign-in) • Samsung Pay • Screen lock • Secure Folder • This feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider. • If you use your iris as a screen lock method, your irises cannot be used to unlock the screen for the first time after turning on the device. To use the device, you must unlock the screen using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the irises. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or password. • If your irises are not recognised, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the irises, and then re-register your irises. If your pattern, PIN, or password is forgotten, you will not be able to use the device if you do not reset it. Samsung is not responsible for any data loss or inconvenience caused by forgotten unlock codes. • If you change the screen lock method to Swipe or None, which are not secure, all of your biometric data will be deleted. If you want to use your biometric data in apps or features, such as Samsung Pass and Samsung Pay, you must register your biometric data again.

Precautions for using iris recognition Before using iris recognition, keep the following precautions in mind. • To protect your eyes, keep the screen at least 20 cm away from your face when using iris recognition. • If you attach screen protectors (privacy protection films, tempered glass protectors, etc.), the recognition may fail. • Do not use iris recognition with infants. Doing so may damage their eyesight. • Anyone who has experienced dizziness, seizures, loss of awareness, blackouts, or other symptoms linked to an epileptic condition, or has a family history of such symptoms or conditions, should consult a doctor before using iris recognition. • Biometric data collected and stored locally by the iris scanner is not intended for any diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventative medical purposes.

For better iris recognition The phone may not recognise your eyes when: • something prevents the camera from getting a good view of your irises (e.g. glasses, low eyelids, recent eye surgery, disease, dirt, damage to the camera, or excessive movement). • the lighting is very different from when you recorded your irises (e.g. direct sunlight). Hold your device about 25-35 cm away from your face with the screen facing towards you.

Fingerprint recognition In order for fingerprint recognition to function, your fingerprint information needs to be registered and stored in your device. After registering, you can set the device to use your fingerprint for the features below: • Samsung Pass (Samsung account verification and web sign-in) • Samsung Pay • Screen lock • Secure Folder • This feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider. • Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor confusing two different fingerprints is very low. However, in rare cases where separate fingerprints are very similar the sensor may recognise them as identical. • If you use your fingerprint as a screen lock method, your fingerprint cannot be used to unlock the screen for the first time after turning on the device. To use the device, you must unlock the screen using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the fingerprint. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or password. • If your fingerprint is not recognised, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the fingerprint, and then re-register your fingerprints. If your pattern, PIN, or password is forgotten, you will not be able to use the device if you do not reset it. Samsung is not responsible for any data loss or inconvenience caused by forgotten unlock codes. • If you change the screen lock method to Swipe or None, which are not secure, all of your biometric data will be deleted.

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 fingerprint recognition sensor recognises fingerprints. Ensure that the fingerprint recognition sensor is not scratched or damaged by metal objects, such as coins, keys, and necklaces. • Covering the fingerprint recognition sensor with protective films, stickers, or other accessories may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate. If the fingerprint recognition sensor is initially covered with a protective film, remove it before using the fingerprint recognition sensor. • Ensure that the fingerprint recognition sensor and your fingers are clean and dry. • The device may not recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars. • The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers. • If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognise your fingerprints. Make sure to cover the entire fingerprint recognition sensor with your finger. • To improve recognition performance, register fingerprints of the hand used most often to perform tasks on the device. • In dry environments, static electricity can build up in the device. Avoid using this feature in dry environments or before using the feature, discharge static electricity by touching a metal object.
