Protecting your phone with a screen lock
You can further secure your data by locking the screen and/or
requiring a screen unlock pattern every time your phone is turned on
or every time it wakes up from sleep mode (screen is off).
To lock the screen
Press END/POWER. Locking the screen prevents accidental screen
touches when the phone is in your bag, purse, or pocket.
To unlock the screen, see “To unlock the screen” in Chapter 1.

You can increase the security of your phone by creating a screen
unlock pattern. When enabled, you have to draw the correct unlock
pattern on the screen to unlock the phone’s control buttons and touch
screen.
1. Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.
2. Tap Security > Set unlock pattern.
3. Read the information on the screen, then tap Next.
4. Study the example pattern on the screen, then tap Next.
