Security Preferences - Palm Zire 21 Handbook

Chapter 14 Setting Preferences for Your Handheld

Security Preferences

The Security Preferences help you prevent unauthorized users from viewing
entries that you want to protect. Use the Security Preferences to do the following:
Lock and turn off your handheld so that it does not operate until you enter the
correct password.
Mask all records that you mark as private so that the information appears as
gray bars.
Hide all records that you mark as private so that they do not appear on any
screen.
You can mask and hide private records with or without a password. Without a
password, private records are hidden or masked until you set the Security
Preferences to show them. With a password, you must enter the password to view
the private entries.

handheld.
