Device Administrators

Activating this feature allows Google to administrate your phone in a way similar to IT security
settings on a corporate PC. This would be beneficial in the case that your phone was lost or
stolen. The phone could be “deactivated” or “restricted” (through administration) from a remote
location.

Selecting Device Administrators

The Device Administration feature allows you to select one or more administration applications
that control your phone for security purposes (for example, if your phone is lost or stolen).

These applications enforce remote or local phone security policies. Some of the features a
device administration application might control are:

● Setting the number of failed password attempts before the phone is restored to factory

settings.

● Automatically locking the phone.

● Restoring factory settings on the phone.

Note: If a phone uses multiple enabled administration applications, the strictest policy is

enforced.

1. Press

and tap

> Settings > Security.

2. Tap Device administrators and tap an account.

3. Tap Deactivate to remove the current administrator.

Unknown Sources

This feature allows you to download and install non- Google Play

TM

applications.

1. Press

and tap

> Settings > Security.

2. Tap Unknown sources, read the warning, and then tap OK. A green checkmark

indicates the feature is enabled.

Trusted Credentials

Use this feature to allow applications to access secure certificates and other credentials.
