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.

• 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.

• 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.

Home Screen

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 ngerprint in

the dialog box that pops up and follow the onscreen prompts to enroll your

ngerprints.

• 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.

• 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.

Lock the Screen to Quickly Secure Your Phone

If you don't use your Phone for a set period of time, the screen will turn o and lock. As long

as the screen stays on, you can use your Phone without needing to unlock the screen. Lock

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:

• 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:

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

• The icon in the bottom left of the signal bar indicates that your device is

connected to the Internet over mobile data.

• 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.

• Assess the quality of available networks: Evaluate currently available network hotspots

and prevent your device from automatically connecting to networks with no Internet

connection.
