When your device can't determine whether you're using a secure connection, you'll
get a notification on your Xperia™ device and may need to manually unlock it
before the trusted device can keep it unlocked.
Bluetooth® connectivity range can vary depending on factors like the model of your device,
the connected Bluetooth® device, and your environment. Depending on these factors,
Bluetooth® connections can work over distances up to 100 metres.
Connecting to trusted places
When the Trusted places feature is set up, the lock screen security on your Xperia™
device gets disabled when you are in a designated trusted location. For this feature
to work, you must have an internet connection (preferably over Wi-Fi) and allow
your device to use your current location.
To set up trusted places, first make sure that high accuracy location mode or
battery-saving location mode is enabled on your device before you add home or
custom locations.
The exact dimensions of a trusted location are an estimate and may extend beyond the
physical walls of your home or other areas that you have added as a trusted locations. This
feature can keep your device unlocked within a radius of up to 80 metres. Also be aware
that location signals can be replicated or manipulated. Someone with access to specialised
equipment could unlock your device.
