Locking your tablet

If you will not use your tablet for a while, briefly press the power button to lock 
access. This saves power and ensures your tablet does not unintentionally use any 
services. Your tablet will lock automatically if it is not used after a while. To change 
the delay, tap

Waking your tablet

If the screen is off and the tablet does not react to any taps on the screen, then it has 
been locked and is in sleep mode.
To wake your tablet, press the power button. Your tablet will display the Lock screen. 
To unlock the screen, press the lock button and follow the lock to the right side of the 
circle.

Lock screen apps

To activate frequently used applications, press the lock button and drag to one of 
four Lock screen apps on the left side of the circle. This unlocks the tablet and opens 
that application immediately.

Note:

Security Options

For additional security, you may set a code or number that must be entered to 
access the tablet, such as an unlock pattern (a set of dots that must be tapped in the 
correct order). Open the Home screen and tap
