Anti-Theft Guide

You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it’s been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google Account or screen lock information can use the device.

All you need to make sure your device is protected is:

Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen



lock set, the device can’t be erased using the Settings menu unless your screen is unlocked.

Add your Google Account on your device: If your device is wiped but



you have your Google Account on it, the device can’t ﬁnish the setup process until your Google Account information is entered again.

After your device is protected, you’ll need to either unlock your screen or enter your Google Account password if you need to perform a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone you trust is performing the reset.

NOTE Do not forget your Google Account and password you added to your device prior to

performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all after performing the factory reset.

The Basics

Touch Screen

Your touch screen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android™ phone. With the touch of your ﬁnger, you can download and use available apps, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone.

Touch or tap A single ﬁnger touch selects items. For example, tap an

icon (e.g., an app, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.

NOTE Don't press too hard on the screen. It's sensitive enough to detect a light, ﬁrm tap.

Touch and hold Touch an item on the screen and don't lift your ﬁnger

until an action occurs. For example, to open a context menu for a contact, touch and hold the contact entry until the menu pops up.

Drag Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your

ﬁnger, move your ﬁnger on the screen until you reach the target position. For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

Swipe, slide, or ﬂick Move your ﬁnger quickly across the surface of the

screen, without pausing when you ﬁrst touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you can browse through the Home screens by swiping left and right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or remove an app from the Recent Apps screen by ﬂicking its graphic off the screen.

Double-tap Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn

the screen on/off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web page to zoom that section to ﬁt the width of the screen and control the zoom in Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it. Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the screen on or off.

NOTE Triple-tap can also be used. For example, in the Calendar app a triple-tap will quickly

create a new event. Triple-tap is also used in the Accessibility settings shortcuts and Touch zoom accessibility features.

The Basics

Multi-touch Use your index ﬁnger and thumb in a pinch motion (to zoom

out) or spread motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos, the rear camera lens, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, the Groups list, and the Messaging list.
