Security

This menu contains features that allows you to configure the
device’s security parameters.

Screen Unlock Pattern Overview

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).

The Screen lock menu allows to choose from a variety of
locking features such as: Swipe, Motion, Pattern, PIN,
Password, and None.

Using Swipe

This feature is the least secure locking method and only
requires that a user swipe the screen to unlock the device.

1. Press

➔

and then tap Settings ➔

Security.

2. Tap Screen lock ➔ Swipe.

Using a Motion to Unlock

This feature allows you to lock or unlock your device by
simply tilting it and moving it either forwards or backwards.

1. Press

➔

and then tap Settings ➔ Security.

2. Tap Screen lock ➔ Motion ➔ OK.

To unlock a device with motion:

1. Verify the device is on and on the Lock screen.

2. In a single motion, use your thumb to touch and hold

the Lock screen, then quickly tilt the device towards

you.

Note: If you forget, these instructions appear at the bottom of

the Lock screen.
