Locking your phone

You can lock access to the sensitive features of your phone such as the directory and call lists when you
are not close to your phone. If this feature is setup, a padlock icon will appear in the top right corner of the
screen to indicate whether your phone is locked or unlocked.

1. Press the Setup button.
2. Scroll to 'Device Administration' and press 'Select'.
3. Choose 'Set Password' and press 'Select'.

Note: To later remove the phone lock feature after it has been set up, simply change the password back
to the default value (blank).,
