Screen lock
Screen lock overview
Your device's screen turns off and locks itself if you press the Power/
Lock Key. This also happens after the device is left idle for a specified
period of time.
If you press the Power/Lock Key when a screen lock is not set, the Home
screen appears immediately.
To ensure security and prevent unwanted access to your device, set a
screen lock.

screen lock while not using the device.
