Note

applications from being displayed.
The Guest Mode function does not allow each user to store and protect personal data.
Some apps may be accessible through other apps even if you restrict them using Guest Mode.
Make sure not to forget the unlock code and secret answer you set. If you do forget them, you
will need to reset tablet device settings factory default.
If you forget the unlock code, entering the secret answer correctly will allow you to reset the
unlock code.
You may not be able to switch to Guest Mode if you installed home application made by a
company other than Sony.
You cannot update the system software during Guest Mode.
Even if you switch to Guest Mode, apps used recently and notifications will remain. Apps
running in the background such as apps playing music in the background also will not stop.
Since some tablet device functions are restricted in Guest Mode, Small Apps and the Quick
launcher will not be available.
