Using password protection
The Proton has a password security feature. Once you set the
password for your Proton and the password security screen turns
on, no one can access it unless the password is entered.
When you set your password in the
6HFXULW\
screen of the
2SWLRQV
function, you can also specify the length of time that the Proton is
idle before the password security screen appears. Once the Proton is
left idle for that amount of time, you will need to enter your
password to access the Proton.
You can also manually invoke the password security screen by
using the
/RFN
function. This function will lock the Proton and no
one can access it without entering the password. You should lock
your Proton if you leave it unattended.
Once the password is enabled, you will need to enter it when
connecting the Proton to your PC for use with the Proton Desktop
Manager. With the Proton in the cradle, you must type your
password and press the
ENTER
key before you can access the Proton
Desktop Manager tools.
If you do not want the password security screen to appear, you
must disable your password in the
6HFXULW\
screen. See page 27 for
details.
Note
When you slide the Proton out of the holster within 5 sec-
onds of notification, the notification stops and the most
recently received message is already open. If you pull the
Proton out of the holster and quickly replace it, notification
stops but the message will remain marked unread.
