It is recommended that you secure your device
using a Screen lock.
1. From a Home screen, tap
> Device.
2. Tap Lock screen > Screen lock to select a
screen lock and level of security:
Swipe: Swipe the screen to unlock it. This
•
option provides no security.
Pattern: Create a pattern that you draw on
•
the screen to unlock your device. This option
provides medium security.
PIN: Select a PIN to use for unlocking the

Note: Fingerprint recognition uses the unique
characteristics of each fingerprint to enhance the
security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint
sensor confusing even small areas of two different
fingerprints is very low. But in rare cases, the
sensor may recognize a fingerprint that is similar
to a registered fingerprint.
