Your Phone stores a lot of sensitive information, such as personal photos, contact information,

Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorized user.

screen password, follow the prompts to set up a pin. Alternatively, touch Change unlock
method, and set 4-digit PIN or Custom PIN.
l Set a pattern: Unlock your Phone by drawing a preset pattern on the screen. For better security,
use a pattern that includes overlapping line segments. Go to Set lock screen password > Change
unlock method > Pattern and draw the same pattern twice. The pattern must connect at least 4
dots.
l Set a password: A password made up of numbers, letters, and special characters is more secure
than a PIN or pattern. For better security, use a password with 8 or more characters that includes
numbers, letters, and special characters. Be sure to memorize the password so that you don't get
locked out of your Phone if you forget it. Go to Set lock screen password > Change unlock
method > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.

the screen will automatically light up when the band comes within 80 cm of your device. Swiping
on the screen of your Phone will instantly unlock the device. Touch Smart unlock, and follow the
onscreen prompts to complete the setup.
l Unlock your device using a ngerprint: If your device supports ngerprint unlock, this is the
ecommended unlock method. Using a ngerprint is a secure and quick way to unlock the
r
device. After setting a lock screen password, touch Enroll in the dialog box that pops up and
follow the onscreen prompts to enroll your ngerprints.
l For security reasons, please do not disable the lock screen password: A lock screen
password prevents unauthorized access to your device. For the security of your device, do not
select Disable lock screen password as the screen lock method.
l Regular password prompts help you to remember your password: If you have not

Introduction to NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that enables short-distance wireless communication.
Through NFC's point-to-point mode, two devices can transfer data in real time when they are within
10 cm (4 inches) of each other. Photos, networks, and apps can all be quickly shared using this
method. NFC read/write mode lets you check product information contained in NFC tags. NFC card
emulation mode allows your device to act as a bank card for quick and easy payments.

Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in
a memory card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to
decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability
of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your private data.
When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted memory card les, or other features to encrypt
