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.

Users
About users
The users feature lets you share your device with others while keeping your personal or work information private. For
example, users that you add to your device can't access your info, such as your email, contacts, pictures, apps, and more.
By default, your device is set up with a device owner and a guest. You can also add more user profiles to your device.
To improve privacy between users, each user should set up a screen lock. A screen lock prevents another user from
accessing information in a dierent user profile.
64
User GuideSettings
All user profiles use the wireless connection information set up on the device. Any changes that a user makes to some
device settings, such as Wi-Fi network connections, are available or applied to all users on the device.
All users can install app updates for any user on the device.
You (device owner)
The person who sets up the device for the first time (you) is the device owner. You can add up to three users in addition to
the device owner and a guest, and set whether the guest or user can use the device to make calls or send text messages.
You control whether someone can add and access a user from the lock screen. You can also install app updates for all
users on the device, uninstall apps from a user profile, and delete a user from the device.
Guest
You can use the guest profile to let someone borrow your device. When someone uses the guest profile, the device creates
a separate space where the guest can download apps, take pictures, and use other device features. Apps and data added
to your device by the guest are only available from the guest profile. When you or the guest delete the guest profile, the
apps and data in the guest profile are permanently deleted from the device.
You control whether the guest can make and receive phone calls.
User
While the guest profile allows you to let someone borrow your device occasionally, you can create a user profile for
someone that you share your device with frequently. A user profile creates a separate space on the device where another
person can use device features and customize the device to their liking. For example, you might want to create a "kids"
user profile that contains child-friendly apps. When a child wants to use your device, you can switch to the "kids" user
profile and not worry that your apps or data might accidentally be deleted or changed. Apps and data added to the device
by the user are only available from the user profile.
You control whether the user can make and receive phone calls, and whether the user can send and receive text messages
(SMS).
Add a user
A user profile creates a separate space on your device for another person to use and customize. For example, the user can
add a Google™ account or download apps, wallpaper, and music without seeing the device owner or other users' account

Security
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
• Password: A secure password can contain letters, numbers, and symbols. A password is designed to be a strong screen
lock that is
• PIN: A PIN must contain a minimum of four numbers. The more numbers there are in your PIN, the more secure your
screen lock.
• Pattern: A pattern is a continuous line that connects four or more dots on a grid. You trace your pattern to unlock your
device.
• Fingerprint: You can touch the fingerprint scanner to unlock your device quickly. If you use this type of screen lock, you

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.
