The Basics
Locking the Screen
You can lock your phone so that only you can unlock it to make calls, access
your data, buy apps, and prevent unauthorized use.
Setting a Screen Lock for the First Time
1. From the Home screen, tap the
Menu Key
>
Lock screen settings
.
2. Tap
Select screen lock
.
3. Tap
None
, Swipe,
Knock Code
, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN, or
Password.
None
: No lock screen is enabled so the screen will never be locked
from use.
S
wipe
: A swipe motion in any direction on the touchscreen will unlock
the screen. This is the default Lock screen that simply guards against
unintentional actions.
Knock Code
: Unlocks the screen using a knock pattern on a 2x2 grid.
The first time you set a knock code, you'll see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Tap a sequence on the 2x2 grid (from
2 to 8 taps), then tap
Done
. Tap your sequence again and tap
Confirm
.
NOTE You're prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget
your Knock code unlock sequence.
Face Unlock: Unlocks the screen using face recognition. The phone
captures your image to identify you. Keep in mind that Face Unlock is
less secure than a pattern, knock code, PIN, or password because it
uses generalized shape and dimension to verify your face.
Pattern
: Unlocks the screen using a pattern you draw with your finger.
The first time you set an unlock pattern, you'll see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial, then tap
Next
.
Draw your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and tap
Continue
. Then
redraw your pattern and tap
Confirm
.
NOTE You're prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget
your unlock pattern sequence.
