■

TOSHIBA Face Recognition does not guarantee the correct

identification of a user. Changes to the likeness of a registrant, such as

hairstyle changes, wearing a cap, or wearing glasses may affect the

recognition rates when such changes occur after the registrant had

registered.

■

TOSHIBA Face Recognition may incorrectly recognize faces that are

similar to a registrant.

■

For high security purposes, TOSHIBA Face Recognition is not a

suitable substitute for Windows passwords. When security is a high

priority, use your established Windows passwords to log in.

■

Bright background light and/or shadows may prevent a registrant from

being recognized correctly. In that case, log in using your Windows

password. If recognition of a registrant fails repeatedly, refer to your

computer documentation to learn ways to improve recognition

performance.

■

TOSHIBA Face Recognition records face data in a log when face

recognition fails. When transferring ownership or disposing of your

computer, please uninstall the application or delete all the logs created

by the application. For details on how to do this, see help file.
