Protecting your phone with a screen lock

You can further secure your phone by requiring a screen unlock pattern every time your phone 

is turned on or every time it wakes up from sleep mode (screen is off). 

1.  Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings.

2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Security > Set unlock pattern.

3. Read the information on the screen, and then tap Next.

4. Study the example pattern on the screen, and then tap Next.

5. Draw the screen unlock pattern by connecting at least four dots in a 

vertical, horizontal and/or diagonal direction. Lift your finger from 

the screen when finished.

6. The phone records the pattern. Tap Continue.

7. When prompted, draw the screen unlock pattern again, and then 

tap Confirm.

When you fail to draw the correct unlock pattern on the screen after five attempts, you will be 

prompted to wait for 30 seconds before you can try again. If you forgot your screen unlock 

pattern, tap Forgot pattern. You will be prompted to sign in using your Google Account name 

and password, and create a new screen unlock pattern before the Home screen displays. 

You must slide your finger on the screen to create the pattern and not tap 
individual dots.

Clear the Use visible pattern check box if you do not want the unlock 
pattern to display on the screen when you unlock it.

To change your unlock screen pattern, press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Security > Change 
unlock pattern.

You need to be connected to a data or Wi-Fi connection to be able to sign in to your Google Account.
