Personal Information and Data
Security
The use of some functions or third-party applications on your
device could result in your personal information and data
being lost or becoming accessible to others. Several
measures are recommended to help you protect personal
and confidential information.
•
Place your device in a safe area to prevent it from
unauthorized use.
•
Set your device screen to lock and create a password or
unlock pattern to open it.
•
Periodically back up personal information kept on your
SIM card, memory card, or stored in your device memory.
If you change to a different device, be sure to move or
delete any personal information on your old device.
•
If you are worried about viruses when you receive
messages or emails from a stranger, you can delete them
without opening them.
•
If you use your device to browse the Internet, avoid
websites that might pose a security risk to avoid theft of
your personal information.
•
If you use services such as Wi-Fi tether or Bluetooth, set
passwords for these services to prevent unauthorized
access. When these services are not in use, turn them off.
•
Install or upgrade device security software and regularly
scan for viruses.
