CHAPTER 1: Getting Started

Locking Your DROID

Your DROID will lock when one of the following occurs:
You press the Power/Lock button on the top edge, and the security
lock timer is set to When display is off.
The security lock timer expires.

Unlocking Your DROID

To unlock your DROID, you first slide the lock slider to see the lock code entry screen.
Next, enter your pattern, PIN, or password to unlock the phone.
You get five attempts to try your unlock code. After the fifth try, the DROID will lock up
for 30 seconds before you can try again.
If you enter 20 incorrect unlock codes, then your DROID will ask you to enter your
Google account information to unlock it.
CAUTION: We have heard that sometimes even entering the correct Google information will not
allow you to unlock your DROID. If this occurs, then you will need to perform a Hard Reset. See
Chapter 24: "Troubleshooting" for detailed information on performing a Hard Reset.

Maintaining Your DROID

Now that you have your DROID fully charged, you will want to know how to safely clean
the screen and keep it protected with various cases.

Cleaning Your DROID Screen

After using your DROID a little while, you will see that your fingers (or other fingers
besides yours) have left smudges and oil on the formerly pristine screen. You will want
to know how to safely clean the screen. One way to keep the screen cleaner throughout
the day is to place a protective screen cover on the DROID, which may also have the
added benefit of cutting down on glare (as discussed in the next section).
We also recommend the following:
1. Turn off your DROID by pressing and holding the Sleep/Power key on the top
edge, and tap Power off from the Phone Options pop-up menu.
2. Remove any cables, such as the USB sync cable.
3. Rub the screen with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth (such as a cloth supplied to clean
eyeglasses or something similar).
