Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks

You can protect your phone by creating a screen lock. When enabled, you need to draw a pattern or enter a numeric PIN or password to unlock the phone’s screen and keys.

1.Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings > Se- curity.

2.Touch Screen lock.

3.Touch Pattern, PIN or Password.

If you touch Pattern, you’re guided to create a pattern you must draw to unlock the screen. The first time you do this, a short tutorial about creating an unlock pattern appears. Then you’re prompted to draw and redraw your own pattern.

If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set a numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your screen.

The next time you turn on your phone or wake up the screen, you must draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or pass- word to unlock it.

IMPORTANT: Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the strength of their security, starting with None and Long press, which provide no security. Pattern provides minimal security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger options.
