Screen Unlock Pattern Settings

To secure data and limit phone access, set the phone to require a
screen unlock pattern each time you turn on the device, or every
time the phone wakes up from sleep mode (when the screen
automatically turns off).

Set unlock pattern

Creating a screen unlock pattern increases security on the
phone. When you enable the User visible pattern field, you will
draw an unlock pattern on the screen whenever you want to
unlock the phone’s buttons or touch screen. When you activate
the Use tactile feedback field, you feel vibration as feedback
while drawing the pattern.

Note: Make sure the Require Pattern field is activated.
