CHAPTER 14
Using Security
Your handheld comes with a Security application so that unauthorized
users cannot view the entries you wish to protect. Use the Security
application to do the following:
■
Lock and turn off your handheld so that it does not operate until you enter the
correct password.
■
Mask all records that you mark as private so the information appears greyed
out.
■
Hide all records that you mark as private so they do not appear on any screen.
You can mask and hide private records with or without a password. Without a
password, private records are hidden or masked until you set the Security
application to show them. With a password, you must enter the password to view
the private entries.
