Assigning security options
Your watch includes a Security application that lets you set options
to protect entries from unauthorized users in a variety of ways:
The Security application lets you:
• Mask or hide entries you have defined as private. The Mask
option displays a gray bar over private records, and the Hide
option completely removes (hides) private records.
• Assign a password to viewing options to enhance security.
Assigning a password requires you to enter a password
before private entries can be viewed; not assigning a
password lets you view private entries when you Show
Records from the Security dialog box.
• Lock your Wrist PDA so that a password must be entered
before you can use the device again.
• Hide records that you have defined as private, with or
without a password. Without a password, private records are
hidden until you set the Security application to display them;
with a password, you must enter the password to view the
private entries.
Masking and hiding records
You can mask or hide private records. When you mask private
records, a visual placeholder appears where the record would
normally be displayed; when you hide records, they are not visible
anywhere in the list.
To mask private records:
1. Make sure that the record or records you want to mask are defined
as private. To make a record private, select the record, tap Edit, tap
Details, and then tap the Private option.
2. From the Applications Launcher, tap Security.
