data and hardware.
Sony assumes no liabilities for any problems and damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the fingerprint
sensor.
❑ The fingerprint recognition rate depends on your operating conditions and varies among individuals as well.
❑ Be sure to make a backup copy of the data stored on the built-in flash memory storage, especially in the encrypted
archives created with the File Safe feature, before sending your computer for repair.
Sony assumes no liabilities for any loss or modification of your data that might have occurred during the course of repair.
❑ In case the built-in flash memory storage has to be initialized, for example after the repair work, the fingerprint templates
will be lost. You will have to enroll them all over again.
❑ The maintenance and management of data concerning fingerprint authentication must be carried out at your own risk.
Sony assumes no liabilities for any defects arising out of your data maintenance and management.
❑ Before disposing of your computer or transferring it to a third person, it is strongly recommended you erase the fingerprint
