The Basics
Locking the Screen
You can lock your screen so that only you can unlock it to make calls,
access your data, buy applications, and prevent unauthorized use.
Setting a Screen Lock for the First Time
1. From the Home screen, tap the Apps Key
> Settings
> Lock
screen.
NOTE
From this screen you can also select the Wallpaper, Clocks & shortcuts, and/or Screen
effect for your Lock screen. The Clocks & shortcuts and Screen effect only apply to the
Swipe Lock screen.
2. Tap Select screen lock.
3. Tap None, Touch and hold, Swipe, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN, or
Password.
None: No lock screen is enabled so the screen will never be locked from
use.
Touch and hold: Unlocks the screen when you touch and hold the
unlock button in the center of the Lock screen.
Swipe: A swipe motion in any direction on the touchscreen will unlock
the screen. This is the default Lock screen.
Face Unlock: Unlocks the screen using face recognition. The phone
captures your image to identify you. Keep in mind that Face Unlock is
less secure than a pattern, PIN or password because it uses generalized
shape and dimension to verify your face.
Pattern: Unlocks the screen using a pattern you draw with your finger.
The first time you set an unlock pattern, you will see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial and tap Next. Draw
your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and tap Continue. Then redraw
your pattern and tap Confirm.
NOTE
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a backup PIN number in case you forget your
pattern.
PIN Unlocks the screen with a number sequence. Enter a PIN (at least 4
digits) and tap Continue. Re-enter your PIN and tap OK to confirm it.
