Securing Your Phone

By default, the phone locks automatically when the screen times out, or you can lock it manually. You can unlock the phone using one of the default Unlock screens, or for increased security, use a personal screen unlock pattern.

For more information about creating and enabling a Screen unlock pattern, see “Screen unlock settings” on page 122.

Tip: When you use a Screen unlock pattern to secure your phone, the Emergency call feature is available on the lock screen, to allow you to make emergency calls even while the phone is locked.

For other settings related to securing your phone, see “Location

&security” on page 121.

Note: Unless stated otherwise, instructions in this User Manual start with the phone unlocked, at the Home screen.
