Proximity Sensor; Lock Your Phone - LG P500 Simple Manual

Your Home screen

Proximity sensor

When receiving and making
calls, this sensor automatically
turns the backlight off and locks
the touch keypad by sensing
when the phone is near your
ear. This extends battery life and
prevents the touch keypad from
activating unintentionally during
calls.

Lock your phone

When you are not using LG-
P500, Press the power key to
lock your phone. This helps
prevent accidental presses and
saves battery power.
Also, If you do not use the phone
for a while, the home screen or
other screen you are viewing, is
replaced with the lock screen to
conserve the battery.
- If there are any programs
running when you lock your
phone, they may be still
running in lock mode. It is
recommended to exit all
16
programs before entering
the lock mode to avoid
unnecessary charges. (e.g.,
phone call, web access and
data communications)
Setting unlock pattern: You can
draw your own unlock pattern by
connecting four or more dots.
If you set a pattern, the phone's
screen is locked. To unlock the
phone, draw the pattern you set
on the screen.
Caution: Before you set an
unlock pattern, you need to
create your Gmail account first.
Caution: If there are more than 5
pattern drawing errors in a row,
you cannot unlock the phone.
