Locking your screen

You can lock your screen so that only you can unlock it to make calls, access your
data, buy applications, and so on. You may also be required to lock your screen by a
policy set by an email or other account you add to your phone.

See “Location & security settings” on page 365 for other ways to protect your phone
and privacy.
