Two issues for you. First, your battery is too low to set up. Plug the iPhone in and let it charge to 80% and turn off Low Power Mode. Then try to activate Face ID. If you still experience the same error message, see this.


If your Face ID is not working, see this, If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support and this If an alert says Face ID has been disabled on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support. If neither help, then use the Get Support link at the top of the page here to contact Apple Support for service, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store. Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
