Precautions on Using Fingerprint Authentication
❑ The fingerprint authentication technology does not assure complete user authentication or complete protection of your
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 hard disk drive, 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 hard disk drive 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
data enrolled on the fingerprint sensor after erasing the data stored on your hard disk drive. See Erasing the Enrolled
Fingerprints
(page 105) for the detailed procedure.
