The Basics
To unlock the phone
If you don’t use the phone for a while, the screen backlight will turn off to
conserve battery power. To wake up the phone and unlock the screen:
1. Turn the screen on.
 Press the Power/Lock key on the right side of the phone.
2. The default Lock screen will appear.
 To unlock the screen, swipe your finger across the screen in any
direction.
 To use a Swipe Lock screen shortcut, swipe the shortcut icon (at the
bottom of the screen) in any direction. The screen will unlock and
launch the app.
NOTE The default Lock screen simply locks the screen to prevent unintentional actions. For
more security to guard against unauthorized use, you can set an unlock requirement (such
as a pattern, PIN, or password) that will need to be entered to unlock it. Please refer to
Using a Screen Lock on page 11 for more information.
TIP Swiping from the left edge of the Lock screen to add a widget to your Lock screen.
Automatic timeout
If you'ren't actively using your phone, it will automatically timeout by
turning off the backlight and locking the screen. This helps to prevent
accidental taps and saves battery power.
Changing the screen timeout
 From the Home screen, tap the Menu key > Settings > Display >
Screen timeout.
To manually turn off and lock the screen:
 Press the Power/Lock key (on the right side of the phone).
Apps do not stop running when you lock the screen. It's recommended
that you exit or stop all apps before entering Lock mode to avoid
unnecessary charges (e.g. phone calls, web access, and data
communications).
