Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks
You can protect your phone by creating a screen lock. When enabled, you can press and
hold a blank area on the home screen, and then draw a pattern or enter a numeric PIN or
password to unlock the phone’s screen and keys.
1. Press the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Screen lock.
2. Tap None, Long press, Pattern, PIN, or Password.
• Tap None to disable screen lock protection.
• Tap Long press to enable screen lock and allow unlocking with a “press and hold”
gesture. You can unlock the screen by tapping and holding a blank area on the
lock screen.
• Tap Pattern to create a pattern that you must draw to unlock the screen.
• Tap PIN or Password to set a numeric PIN or a password that you must enter to
unlock the screen.
3. For Pattern, PIN, or Password, select whether to protect your phone by requiring your
pattern, PIN, or password before it starts up, and then tap CONTINUE.
NOTE: When this feature is enabled, your phone cannot receive calls, messages, or
notifications until it starts up.
4. For Pattern, PIN, or Password, select how you would like notifications and their
contents to show when the phone is locked, then tap DONE.
NOTES:
• Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the strength of their security,
starting with None and Long press, which provide no security. A pattern provides
minimal security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger options.
• Remember the pattern, PIN, or password you set. Otherwise, you will need to contact
your service provider.
Protecting Your Phone With Screen Pinning
You can use the screen pinning feature to keep an app in view, so others cannot switch to
other apps or access your personal information.
Turning on Screen Pinning
1. Press the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Screen pinning.
2. Tap the On/Off switch.
3. If you have set a screen lock, you can tap Ask for unlock pattern / PIN / password
before unpinning. You will need to draw the pattern or enter the PIN/password to
unpin the screen.
