Securing Your Device
By default, the device locks automatically when the screen
times out or you can lock it manually. You can unlock the
device using one of the default Unlock screens or, for
increased security, use a personal screen unlock pattern.
For more information about creating and enabling a Screen
unlock pattern, see “Screen Lock” on page 128.
For other settings related to securing your device, see
“Location” on page 127.
Note: Unless stated otherwise, instructions in this User
Manual start with the device unlocked, at the Home
screen.
Locking and Unlocking the Touch
Screen
1. Press the Power/Lock Key to lock the touch
screen.
2. Press the Power/Lock Key again to display
the lock screen then swipe your finger across the
screen to unlock.
Note: Swipe is the default screen locking method. To change
your screen lock, see “Screen Lock” on page 128.
Tip: From the Lock screen, touch and swipe one of the app
shortcut icons to launch that application. For more
information, refer to “Swipe Options” on page 129.
Troubleshooting
If your device has fatal errors, hangs up, or freezes, you may
need to reset the device to regain functionality.
• If your device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold
