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 unauthorised 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.
l Unlock your device using a smart band: If your device supports unlocking with a smart band,
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 Add in the dialog box that pops up and
follow the onscreen prompts to enrol your ngerprints.
l For security reasons, please do not disable the lock screen password: A lock screen
password prevents unauthorised 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.

Wi-Fi and Network

Wi-Fi

Introduction to Wi-Fi+

Wi-Fi+ intelligently connects to Wi-Fi networks to save mobile data consumption. When your device
detects a known or free Wi-Fi network, it will automatically turn on Wi-Fi and connect to the network.
Your device will also automatically select the optimal network in the area for the best Internet
connection.
Once you have enabled Wi-Fi+, your device will:
l Automatically select and connect to the optimal network: Automatically select and connect to
Wi-Fi networks you've previously connected to, free networks, or your mobile data network,
depending on the signal strength at your current location.
You can view the connection status by checking the icons in the status bar:
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.
l Automatically turn Wi-Fi on: Depending on the Wi-Fi networks you have connected to previously,
Wi-Fi will be automatically enabled in specic locations. This will prevent your device from
constantly searching for new networks.
l Assess the quality of available networks: Evaluate currently available network hotspots and
prevent your device from automatically connecting to networks with no Internet connection.

Connect to Wi-Fi

By connecting your device to a Wi-Fi network, you can effectively save mobile data.
To avoid potential security risks (such as unauthorised access to your personal data and
information), please exercise caution when connecting to a public Wi-Fi network.
Connect to a Wi-Fi Network: Open Settings, go to Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi, and enable
Wi-Fi. Touch a Wi-Fi network to access it, and enter the network password or complete the
