  • Move your hand as you swipe the finger across the scanner, to avoid curling or pointing your finger.

  • Swipe vertically, not horizontally across the scanner.

  • Make sure your finger is dry and clean.

  • Don’t swipe too quickly or slowly.

  • Make sure you’re not pressing too hard (or lightly).

  • Choose which finger you want to use.
  • Swipe your finger down the scanner. You’ll need to swipe it four times to register your fingerprint.

  • Enter and confirm a backup password to be used in the event the phone doesn’t recognize your fingerprint.
  • If you want to launch an app automatically after unlocking your phone, tap OK and choose the app you want.
