Set Up Key Guard
Key guard is a feature that allows you to protect the device’s control buttons from being pressed accidentally
while your device is in your pocket or bag. While in key guard mode, your device is also in a power-saving mode,
so you save battery power.
Turn on Key Guard Manually
You can turn on key guard manually in two ways:
• Press and hold Back for three seconds.
• Press Jump to return to the Jump screen, then open the menu and select Key Guard.
Turn on Key Guard Automatically
You can set key guard to turn on automatically by doing the following:
1 From the Device Settings screen, select Key Guard & Security. The Key Guard & Security screen opens:
2 In the first section, Key Guard, rotate the wheel to highlight the pop-up menu, as shown above. Note that
Guard after 5 minutes is selected by default.
3 If you want to change the default setting, press the wheel to open the pop-up menu and reveal all the time-
idle choices:
• Guard after 2 minutes
• Guard after 5 minutes
• Guard after 15 minutes
• Never automatically guard
4 Rotate the wheel to select the option you want, then press the wheel to select it.
Unlock Your Device
To unlock your device (take it out of key guard mode), simply press + .
Set a Key Guard Display Message
If you want, you can display a one-line personal message that displays on the screen while the device is in key
guard mode. To do this:
1 On the Key Guard & Security screen, scroll to highlight the Key Guard Display Message text box and type
your message. Your message must fit on one line, which is approximately 20-30 characters.
2 Your settings are saved as soon as you make them.
