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.
