case your Toshiba phone is lost or stolen.
You can apply the following security to prevent
unauthorised use:
• Device lock - using a password, this feature
prevents unauthorised use of your Toshiba
phone.
When this feature is activated, you will be
prompted for a password when you switch on
your Toshiba phone, and when you leave it idle
for a set period of time.
When this feature is activated, you will need to
enter the password before you can use your
Toshiba phone.
