Security Preferences
The Security Preferences help you prevent unauthorized users from viewing
entries that you want to protect. Use the Security Preferences 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 that the information appears as
gray bars.
■
Hide all records that you mark as private so that 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
Preferences to show them. With a password, you must enter the password to view
the private entries.

handheld.

1.
