Securing your tablet
Initially, when you turn on or wake the tablet, the lock screen requires you to drag a lock icon to unlock the screen. But you can secure the lock screen by requiring that you draw a pattern or enter a numeric PIN or password, so only you can access your data, buy apps from Market, and so on. You may also be required to secure you lock screen by a policy set by an email account or other account you add to your tablet.
See“Location and security settings”on page 96 for other ways to protect your tablet and privacy, and for details about other lock screen settings.
You can also encrypt the data on your tablet, so you must enter a numeric PIN or a password to decrypt it each time you power it on.
