Security and Privacy
Enable App Lock
App lock allows you to set a password for your important apps. Once you restart your device or
unlock the screen, you will be asked to enter your App lock password when opening these apps. App
lock adds an extra layer of protection for your private information and prevents unauthorised access
to important apps on your device.
Enable App lock: Open
Settings. Go to Security & privacy > App lock. When you enable App
lock for the first time, set the password and password protection question then enter App lock. On
the App lock screen, enable App lock for the apps you want to protect. When accessing a locked app
for the first time, you need to enter your password. If you forget your password, touch Forgot
password, enter the answer to the password protection question, and reset your password. If you
have not set up password protection, the Forgot password option is not available.
Modify your App lock password and password protection: Touch
on the App lock screen,
then touch Change password or Change password protection to modify your App lock password
or password protection.
Enable or Disable Location Services
After obtaining the location information permission, apps can obtain your location at any time. If your
location information is obtained by a malicious app, you may be at risk of harm or fraud. You can
enable or disable location services as needed and regularly monitor and manage the allowed
permissions for your apps to protect your privacy and security.
Enable or disable location services: Open
Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location
access, and enable or disable Access my location. When location services are disabled, aside for
pre-installed software (such as Find my Tablet), your Tablet will stop all apps and services from
collecting and using your location information. The system will ask you to enable location services
when you attempt to use these apps.

Set indoor positioning assistance: Open
