Screen Lock and Unlock

Set a Lock Screen Password to Protect Your Privacy

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

banking apps (for example, Alipay). Set a lock screen password so that a password is required each

time you unlock your Phone. A lock screen password helps to protect your private information if your

Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorized user.

Set a lock screen password: Open Settings, go to Security & privacy > Lock screen

password, and set the type of lock screen password you prefer.

l Set a PIN: A PIN number is a sequence of digits. Entering a PIN to unlock your Phone is quick and

simple. For better security, use a long sequence of random numbers as your PIN. Go to Set lock

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

recommended unlock method. Using a ngerprint is a secure and quick way to unlock the

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

entered your screen lock password for 3 days, the system will require that you enter the

password to unlock your device.

connection.

Once you have enabled Wi-Fi+, your device will:

l The icon indicates that your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi.

l The icon in the bottom left of the signal bar indicates that your device is connected to

the Internet over mobile data.
