In Idle mode, select Applications and then select Settings
→ Location and security → Set unlock pattern
.

2.

Follow the on-screen instructions and select Next (if
necessary).

3.

Draw a pattern by dragging your finger to connect at
least 4 dots.

4.

Select Continue.

5.

Draw the pattern again to confirm.

6.

Select Confirm.

Once you set an unlock pattern, you have to use the pattern
each time you turn the phone on or unlock the touch screen.
If you do not want the phone to require the pattern, clear the
checkbox next to Require pattern in Location and security.
