Security

Locking the screen

You can lock the screen to prevent accidental operation. You can also enhance security by requiring a PIN,
pattern, or password to prevent the screen from being unlocked.
Configuring the screen lock
1. Swipe up the home screen, and then in the app list, tap [Settings] ® [Security & location] ® [Screen
lock].
•
If the screen lock is already configured, you must unlock the unit before configuring a different unlock
method.
2.
Select the desired unlock method and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Note
•
The risk of unauthorized access to the unit is increased when using the [None] and [Swipe] unlock
methods as these methods provide little to no security. For increased security, select an unlock
method that is unknown to others and difficult to guess.
•
Do not use a password, etc. that you already use for other features.
Locking the screen
Press (power button) to put the unit into sleep mode, or wait for the screen to automatically turn off.

Encrypting the SD card (certain models only)
