After registering, you can set the device to use your fingerprint for the features below:

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 a screen protector, make sure it allows for use of the On-screen fingerprint sensor. (SM-T970, SM-T975, SM-T976B) 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. If you want to use your biometric data in apps or features, you must register your biometric data again. For better fingerprint recognition When you scan your fingerprints on the device, be aware of the following conditions that may affect the features performance:

The device may not recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars. The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers. To improve recognition performance, register fingerprints of the hand used most often to perform tasks on the device. 176 Settings SM-T870, SM-T875 The Side key has a built-in fingerprint recognition sensor. 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. 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. 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. SM-T970, SM-T975, SM-T976B:

Your device has a built-in fingerprint recognition sensor at the bottom centre of the screen. Ensure that the screen protector or the touchscreen on the fingerprint recognition sensor area is not scratched or damaged by objects, such as coins, keys, pens, and necklaces. Ensure that the fingerprint recognition sensor area at the bottom centre of the screen and your fingers are clean and dry. If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognise your fingerprints. Press the screen so that your fingertip spreads over the wide surface of the fingerprint recognition area.

It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement

(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy. The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile tablet employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless tablet to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the tablet transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the tablet while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the tablet is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a new model tablet is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model tablet are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. SAR information on this and other model tablet can be viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the tablet FCC ID number for search, A3LSMT970. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular tablet, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular tablet. Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones SAMSUNG CONFIDENTIAL FCC Notice and Cautions FCC Notice This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
