Device Basics 13
Use the Lock Screen
Aside from protecting the device’s screen from unwanted taps and presses, the lock screen also
displays important information, updates, and messages at a glance, or provide shortcut icons to
your favorite applications.
Unlock the Screen
1. When the screen is off, press to show the lock screen.
2. Do any of the following:
Flick the ring up to unlock the screen. When you have an incoming call, flicking the
ring up answers the call.
Drag a shortcut icon, a photo, or a message to the ring to unlock the screen and
launch the related application.
Note: If you have set up a screen lock, you will be prompted to draw the pattern or enter the
password or PIN. See Set Up Screen Lock.
