Locking and unlocking the screen
When your device is on and left idle for a set period of time, the screen dims to
save battery power and locks automatically. This lock prevents unwanted actions
on the touchscreen when you are not using it. When you buy your device, a basic
screen swipe lock is already set. This means that you have to swipe left or upwards
on the screen to unlock it. You can change the security settings later and add other
kinds of locks. See
Screen lock on page 11.

Home screen
The Home screen is the starting point for using your device. It's similar to the
desktop on a computer screen. Your Home screen can have up to twenty panes,
which extend beyond the regular screen display width. The number of Home
screen panes is represented by a series of dots at the lower part of the Home
screen. The highlighted dot shows the pane that is currently displayed.
