Wi-Fi network
A Wi-Fi network connection allows your device to use data services, but unlike using the mobile network, using Wi-Fi
doesn't add charges to your data plan.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your device saves the network information. The next time your device is within range
of the saved Wi-Fi network, and Wi-Fi is turned on, your device can connect to the network automatically.
Your device can be connected to the mobile network and a Wi-Fi network at the same time. For basic data functions, such
as using the Internet or downloading apps, your device is designed to try to use a saved Wi-Fi network before it tries to use
the mobile network. Keep in mind that if you leave Wi-Fi turned on, your battery might lose power more quickly.

Locks, passwords, and protecting your data
There are several types of locks, PINs, and security features that you can use to help protect the data on your device.
If you use your device for work, your organization might have security rules in place. The organization might require you to
enter a password to unlock your device or might prevent you from using the Smart Lock feature.
Screen lock
A screen lock helps prevent someone else from unlocking your device and accessing your data. When you set up a screen
lock, you set whether the screen lock must be entered to turn on the device.
Some security features, such as Smart Lock, require that you set up a screen lock before you can set up the feature.
There are several types of screen locks to choose from. Each type is designed to provide a

• PIN: A PIN must contain a minimum of four numbers. The more numbers there are in your PIN, the more secure your

Smart Lock
The Smart Lock feature lets you set up your device to remain unlocked when it's connected to a trusted Bluetooth enabled

Data encryption
By default, data on your device, including your account information, apps, music, pictures, and other downloaded files, is
stored in a format that can be read only when your device decrypts the data. If you set up a screen lock and require that it
must be entered to turn on your device, your password, PIN, or pattern is used to generate a new encryption key to decrypt
your data.
SIM card PIN
You can set up a PIN for your SIM card, which you can use to help prevent unauthorized use of your SIM card in another
device. For example, if you lose your SIM card and someone tries to use it in another device, the SIM card can't be used
unless the PIN is entered correctly.
Network lock and unlock codes
To use a SIM card from another service provider, for example, if you’re traveling and want to use a local service provider’s
network, you can request unlock codes (MEP codes) from your current service provider. After you insert the new SIM card,
enter the unlock code.
If you exceed the number of allowed attempts to enter an unlock code, your SIM card allows emergency calls only. For
assistance, contact your service provider.
Google™ account and factory reset protection
The factory reset protection feature uses your Google™ account information to help protect the data on your device. If your
device is lost or stolen, the factory reset protection feature is designed to prevent someone else from being able to set up
your device for use, even if that person tries to reset your device to its factory settings. The device must be set up using the
same Google™ account information that was set up on the device before it was reset.
To use the factory reset protection feature, you must set up a screen lock and you must add your Google™ account to your
device.
Set up or change a screen lock
Locking your device can help prevent your device from sending accidental messages or pocket dialing. Before you can
unlock your device and access the data on your device, you must enter your password, PIN, or pattern, or swipe the screen.
If you use your device for work, depending on the rules set up by your administrator, you might not be able to use a pattern

Troubleshooting: Locks, passwords, and protecting your data
I forgot my password, PIN, or pattern
For security reasons, the only way that you can reset your screen lock without knowing the password, PIN, or pattern is to
delete all of your device data and set up the device again.
You can typically do this by entering your password, PIN, or pattern incorrectly ten times. Or, if you have a remote device
management app installed on your device, such as the Android™ Device Manager, you can log in to the website and delete
your device data.
If you add your Google™ account to your device, the factory reset protection feature is turned on. To set up your device
again, you must add the same Google™ account. If you don't use the same Google™ account, you can't complete the setup
process.
Smart Lock doesn't unlock my device as expected
Try any of the following;
• If your device doesn't unlock when you scan your face, try to improve the image Smart Lock uses to recognize your
face. Tap
• Adjust the distance between your BlackBerry device and a trusted Bluetooth enabled device. The distance of a
Bluetooth connection can vary depending on your BlackBerry device model and the Bluetooth enabled device.
• If your device remains unlocked when it is close to a trusted location instead of when you are at the trusted location, try
improving the accuracy of the trusted location. Delete the trusted location. Tap > Location > Mode. Tap High
accuracy or Battery saving, and then add the trusted location again. Your device might detect a trusted location
outside of the physical walls of a building, such as your house. Smart Lock might keep your device unlocked when it is
within an 80-meter radius of a trusted location.
• You might need to unlock your device using your screen lock the first time you connect to a trusted device or arrive at a
trusted location.

Finding and protecting a lost device
What to do if your device is lost or stolen
If you have a remote device management app, such as Android™ Device Manager, set up on your device, visit the remote
device management website and sign in. Depending on the remote device management app installed on your device, you
might be able to:
• Lock your device
• Make your device ring
• Add a phone number or message to the home screen of your device
• View the approximate location of your device on a map
• Delete all of the data on your device
If your device is not connected to the wireless network or if data services are turned o, you should still try to lock your
device and delete your device data. The next time your device connects to a wireless network, or data services are turned
on, your device is designed to lock and delete all the data.
If you don't have a remote device management app set up on your device, contact your service provider or your
administrator and report that your device is lost or stolen. Your service provider can lock your device remotely and delete
your data. If you use your device for work, your administrator might also be able to lock your device and delete your data.
If you suspect your device was stolen and you locate your device using a remote device management website, contact the
local law enforcement agency to retrieve your device. Don't try to retrieve your device on your own.
