Assigning security options

Your pda phone includes a Security application that lets you set options to protect entries from unauthorized users in a variety of ways:

The Security application lets you:

Mask or hide entries you have defined as private. The Mask option displays a gray bar over private records, and the Hide option completely removes (hides) private records.

Assign a password to viewing options to enhance security. Assigning a password requires you to enter a password before private entries can be viewed; no assigning a password lets you view private entries when you Show Records from the Security dialog box.

Lock and turn off your pda phone so that a password must be entered before you can use the device again.

Hide records that you have defined as private, with or without a password. Without a password, private records are hidden until you set the Security application to display them; with a password, you must enter the password to view the private entries.

Masking and hiding records

You can mask or hide private records. When you mask private records, a visual placeholder appears where the record would be normally displayed; when you hide records, they are not visible anywhere in the list.

To mask private records:

1.Make sure that the record or records you want to mask are defined as private. To make a record private, select the record, tap Edit, tap Details, and then tap the Private option.

2.From the Applications Launcher, tap Security.

3.From the Current Privacy pick list, tap Mask Records.
