NOTES:
Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the strength of
their security, starting with None and Swipe, 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 may have
to contact customer service to upgrade the phone software (see
Upgrading
the Phone Software
).
PROTECTING YOUR PHONE WITH APP PINNING
You can use the app pinning feature to keep an app in view, so people cannot
switch to other apps or access your personal information.
NOTE: When an app is pinned, it may open other apps and your personal
data may be accessible.
Turning On App Pinning
1. Swipe up on the home screen and tap Settings > Security > Advanced >
App pinning.
2. Tap the On/Off switch.
3. If you haven’t set up a screen lock (a pattern, PIN, or password), you can
tap Lock device when unpinning and follow the on-screen instructions to
set one for added security. If a screen lock is set up, you can tap Ask for
unlock pattern before unpinning, Ask for PIN before unpinning, or Ask
for password before unpinning. You will need to draw the pattern or enter
the PIN/password to unpin the screen.
