Select a source for determining your location:
• Wireless networks, or
• GPS satellites
Typically GPS will be more accurate (to street level) but it consumes more
battery power. Note that GPS is active only when in Maps or another
application requiring your location. The first time you select Set unlock
pattern, you will step through a quick tutorial.
Screen unlock pattern - Create a pattern you will be asked to draw
before your screen will unlock. You can select to make the pattern visible
or invisible as you draw it.
SIM card lock settings - Lock your SIM card for extra security. You can
also change your SIM card PIN from this screen. If you don’t know your
SIM PIN, you can obtain it from your wireless operator.
Visible passwords - Select to have your password display as you type it.
Applications Unknown sources - Select this check box if you want the ability to
download applications from the Web. With this check box not selected,
you will only be able to download applications from Android Market.
To ensure your personal data and phone remain secure, it is recommended
you not select this check box.

applications have been assigned shortcuts by default. You can change
these, plus add shortcuts. From this screen:
