Securing Access to the Android 4.0 Operating System
An essential component of any security strategy for computers in the Dolphin 70e Black network is to secure access to the
operating system. Implementing access security measures ensures:
• Only authorized users have access to the system.
• User access to files, systems, and services is limited to those necessary for the performance of their duties.
Note: The following link provide overview information about the security tips of the Android system:

Basic Security Setup

The following settings are strongly recommended for your Dolphin 70e Black device.
Note: Refer to the Dolphin 70e Black powered by Android User's Guide, for detailed information on device settings. Product
guides are available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com.

SIM Card Lock

Enabling a SIM card PIN prevents unauthorized individuals from using the terminal as a phone or modifying data on the
SIM card. Once enabled, you must enter a PIN to unlock your SIM card each time the phone is powered on.
To access the SIM Card Lock settings from the Home screen, select All Apps > Settings > Security > Set up SIM card
lock.
The recommended setting for the SIM Card Lock is enabled (checked) on WWAN Dolphin 70e Black models. The default
setting is Off.

Screen Lock

Enabling a screen lock prevents unauthorized persons from accessing the terminal without a password, pin, or pattern to
unlock the touch screen once it has been locked.
To access the Screen Lock settings from the Home screen, select All Apps > Settings > Security > Screen Lock.
The recommended setting for the Screen Lock is to enable a Password lock. Use a strong password value (e.g., include
numbers, characters, special characters, and mix character case). Each Dolphin 70e Black device should have a unique
password. There are five options: None, Slide, Pattern, PIN, or Password. The default setting is Slide.

Security Lock Timer

Once you have established a Screen Lock, additional settings appear under the "Screen Security" heading depending on
the type of security you implemented. When a Password screen lock is established, you can adjust the time increment for
the screen to Automatically lock after entering Suspend (sleep) mode. This feature provides added security against
unauthorized persons from accessing the Dolphin 70e Black device.
The recommended setting for Automatically lock is 10 minutes. The default setting is one minute.

Device Encryption

Encrypt phone is an advanced security option. By encrypting all the data on your phone, you make it difficult for someone
to pull readable data from the Dolphin 70e Black if the device is lost or stolen. When the phone is encrypted, you must enter
a password each time you power on the device. A Screen Lock password must be set before utilizing device encryption.
Warning: You cannot reverse encryption. The only way to revert back to an unencrypted state is to perform a factory
reset, which erases all of your data.
To access device encryption from the Home screen, select All Apps > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
Encrypting phone data is not recommend unless there is risk of access to local confidential data on the Dolphin 70e Black.
Data is not encrypted by default on the Dolphin 70e Black.
