from inadvertent use and keep your data private. The built-in security
software enables you to use your Treo for emergency calls even if the
handset is locked.
• Keyguard: Manually disables all buttons and the touchscreen to prevent
accidental presses in your briefcase or pocket.
• Auto-Keyguard and touchscreen lockout: Automatically enables
Keyguard after a period of inactivity, and lets you disable the touchscreen
during an active call or call alert.
• Phone Lock: Requires a password to make and receive calls with your
SIM card.
• System password lock: Requires a password to see any data on your Treo.
• Private records: Masks or hides items marked as private, and requires a
password to view them.
