Setting Up HP ProtectTools

You should only need to set up security one time. You can make changes to any of your security settings at a later time without going through the setup procedure again.

1.Install HP ProtectTools from the Getting Started CD, and then set up security on your HP iPAQ.

2.On your HP iPAQ, tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > HP ProtectTools.

3.The security configuration screen displays the message “Do you want to configure HP ProtectTools security on your device?” Tap Yes.

4.On the Lock Settings screen, select your choices for the following:

●Lock device—secures device by requiring your PIN or password to authenticate access to the HP iPAQ.

●Log off—secures device by requiring your PIN or password, stops running all programs, and encrypts your data. You can also select the amount of time between when you last used the device and when the data is encrypted.

NOTE Because encryption/decryption can take some time, if you use your device frequently, you may want to select a longer period of time.
