Fingerprints

Important: Fingerprint recognition uses the unique 
characteristics of each fingerprint to enhance the 
security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint 
sensor confusing even small areas of two different 
fingerprints is very low. But, in rare cases the 
sensor may recognize a fingerprint that is similar 
to a registered fingerprint.
