Note:

Picture backgrounds can affect the readability of text within
some applications.



Tip:

Tapping the Getting Started icon on
the Windows Mobile Start screen is
an equally effective means of
navigating to the Getting Started
menu.

Note:

 Leaving the “Prompt if phone (i.e. device) unused for”

box unchecked leaves the device without password
protection.

 It is recommended that the “Prompt if device unused”

time strike a practical balance between security and
convenience.

 Selecting a delay of 0 minutes will result in a

condition requiring password input every time the
device is used.

Password Protection

Setting up a device password:

1. Tap Set up a device password on the Getting Started menu screen.

2. Tap the arrow to the right of Set up a password in Settings > Lock.

3. Check the Prompt if phone (device) unused for box and select a delay from 0

minutes to 24 hours. Checking this box enables the password setup process to
continue.

3-5

Janam Technologies LLC

4. Tap the down arrow in the Password type box.

5. From the pull-down menu, select the type of password you would like to use –

Simple PIN (Personal Identification Number) or Strong alphanumeric. Enter the
password and enter in the same password again for confirmation.

Simple PIN passwords contain only numeric characters and must be at least 4

characters in length. Overly simplistic sequences such as “1234, “1111”, etc.
will be rejected as unsafe.

Strong alphanumeric passwords must include at least 7 characters, 3 of which

must be a combination of UPPERCASE and lowercase letters, numerals or
punctuation.

Examples: Upc4003 UPC?4003

XM70 User Manual

To remove password protection:

1. Tap Start menu > Settings > Personal tab > Lock.

2. Enter your current password.

3. Un-check the Prompt if device unused for check box.

4. Tap OK.

Changing Passwords

Passwords may be changed by following the same procedure used to set the initial password.
However, the process will be interrupted with the password entry screen. Entering the current
password will enable continuation of the password change process.

3-6

Janam Technologies LLC

Note:

When the device is locked, neither the on-screen keyboard nor
the physical keypad will accept user input, preventing
unintentional input. This level of locking does not take the place
of the added security of password protection.
