Securing Your Phone - Samsung GALAXYS User Manual

Securing Your Phone

By default, the phone locks automatically when the screen times
out, or you can lock it manually. You can unlock the phone using
one of the default Unlock screens, or for increased security, use a
personal screen unlock pattern.
For more information about creating and enabling a Screen
unlock pattern, see "Screen unlock settings" on page 122.
Tip: When you use a Screen unlock pattern to secure your phone, the
Emergency call feature is available on the lock screen, to allow you to
make emergency calls even while the phone is locked.
For other settings related to securing your phone, see "Location
& security" on page 121.
Note: Unless stated otherwise, instructions in this User Manual start with the
phone unlocked, at the Home screen.
