Auto-Lock

Locking iPhone turns off the display to save your battery and to prevent unintended operation of iPhone. You can still receive calls and text messages, and you can adjust the volume and use the mic button on the iPhone stereo headset when listening to music or on a call.

Set the amount of time before iPhone locks: Choose General > Auto-Lock and choose a time.

Passcode Lock

By default, iPhone doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it.

Set a passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock and enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPhone then requires you to enter the passcode to unlock it or to display the passcode lock settings.

Turn passcode lock off: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Turn Passcode Off, then enter your passcode again.

Change the passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Change Passcode. Enter your passcode again, then enter and reenter your new passcode.

If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPhone software. See “Updating and Restoring iPhone Software” on page 204.

Set how long before your passcode is required: Choose General > Passcode Lock and enter your passcode. Tap Require Passcode, then select how long iPhone can be idle before you need to enter a passcode to unlock it.

Turn Voice Dial on or off: Choose General > Passcode Lock and turn Voice Dial on or off.

Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Erase Data to turn it on.

After ten failed passcode attempts, your settings are reset to their defaults and all your information and media is erased:

•On iPhone 3GS: by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)

•On iPhone and iPhone 3G: by overwriting the data
