Using the Proximity Lock Feature

When your phone is connected as a proximity device and the phone is moved out of range, a
Bluetooth Notification displays on your computer:

You can take the following actions:

• Allow the computer to lock automatically after 10 seconds.

While the phone is out of range, the proximity feature remains enabled but inactive. If the phone is
again within range when you unlock the computer, the proximity feature is automatically reactivated.

If the phone is not in range when you unlock the computer, a notification displays for 10 seconds that
offers the same options shown in the figure.

• Click Do not lock this computer.

The computer does not attempt to lock for 30 minutes, allowing you to continue using your computer.
The proximity feature remains enabled but is inactivated. After 30 minutes, the computer attempts to
reconnect to the proximity device. If it is within range, the proximity feature is reactivated
automatically and you can continue working without interruption. If it is not in range, a notification
displays with the same options shown in the figure.

When the proximity feature is enabled but inactive, the following message displays in the Bluetooth
Device Control window for the phone:

Proximity is currently inactive because the device is out of range or a connection could not
be established.
