    account.
    Warning : 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. Do not 
    stare at the iris recognition LED light when your eyes 
    are less than 20 cm (~8 inches) away from the device, 
    for best results keep your eyes between 25‑35 cm 
    (~10 14 inches) away for optimum recognition.

    Note: The Iris scanner is not intended to be used as a 
    medical device and the biometric data collected and 
    stored locally by the mechanism is not intended to be 
    used for any diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventative 
    purposes. Please follow all instructions for use of this 
    feature.
    For best results, remove eyeglasses and sunglasses. 
    Do not use the Iris scanner in bright sunlight or areas 
    with excessive reflected light (for example, by the pool 
    or seashore). Do not use the Iris scanner in low light. 
    Look straight at the device (not up, down or sideways), 
    and hold your head still for the scan. 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.
