50 The Basics
Locking Your Phone
You can lock the touchscreen to prevent unintentional gesture actions, as
well as lock the phone to guard against unauthorized use.
The default Lock screen
The default Lock screen is Swipe which protects against unintentional
touchscreen actions. The Lock screen is activated when the screen
times-out from inactivity. Press the Power/Lock Key
(on the back of the
phone) to illuminate the screen. The Swipe default Lock screen is
displayed, but you can still conveniently check the date, time, and Status
Bar icons. You can drag the Status Bar down to open and use the
Notifications Panel without unlocking the screen. In addition, you can also
quickly access five shortcut apps (the Phone app
, the Message+(VZW)
app , the QuickMemo+ app , the Chrome app , and the Camera app
) without unlocking the screen first. Simply swipe an icon upward to
open and use it.
Changing the shortcut icons on the default Lock screen
1. From the Home screen, touch and hold the Recent Apps Key (in the
Touch Keys bar) > Lock screen settings.
2. Tap Shortcuts.
3. Tap one of the icons at the bottom of the screen, then tap the app you
want to replace it with.
4. Tap Save (at the bottom of the screen) to save these settings.
Setting your Lock screen
There are several Lock screen types allowing you to lock your phone so
that only you can unlock it to make calls, access your data, buy apps, and
prevent unauthorized use.
Setting a Screen Lock for the First Time
