When the mobile device is reset to factory default values, for example after a cold reset, the Administrator may need to reconfigure the AppLock parameters. LXE has made the assumption, in this chapter, that the first user to power up a new mobile device is the system administrator.
An MX7 default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is assigned. LXE CE devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the device is first booted, the user has full access to the device and no password prompt is displayed.
If this type of application is being locked, the administrator should close all other applications before switching to end user mode to minimize the screen flicker. Windows accelerator keys such as Alt-F4 are disabled. MX7 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX7RG-H...
