Synchronise your email, contacts, and calendar using Gmail.

You can back up, restore and transfer your data from an old device to your new device.

Chat with friends using the Google Duo™ application.

Device security

Making sure your device is protected

Your device includes security options, strongly recommended in case of loss or theft.

Note

When using a security option to protect your device, it is crucial to remember the details provided at set up.

Screen lock

Set a secure screen lock on your device using a PIN, password, pattern, or fingerprint to prevent others from using your device without permission. Once the screen lock is set, it is not possible to unlock the screen or erase the content via a Erase all data (factory reset) without providing the screen lock information.

Find my device

Use the Find my device service to remotely locate, lock, unlock, or erase the content on a lost device. After you have signed in to your Google account, Find my device is turned on by default.

SIM card lock

Lock your SIM cards with a PIN to protect your subscription against misuse. The PIN is required every time you restart your device.

IMEI number

Keep a copy of the IMEI number. If your device is stolen, some network providers can use this number to stop the device from accessing the network in your country or region.

Backup

Back up the content on your device in case your device is damaged, lost or stolen.

To back up with a Google account, see Backing up and synchronising with a Google account on page 42.

To back up using a computer, see Backing up and transferring data using a computer on page 43.

To back up using a memory card, see Backing up and transferring data using a memory card on page 43.

Screen lock

When the screen is locked you have to unlock it with a swipe gesture or with your personal pattern, PIN, password or fingerprint. Initially, the unprotected screen swipe is set, but it is recommended to use a more secure screen lock to protect your device.

The security level of each lock type is listed below in order of weakest to strongest:

Swipe: no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.

Pattern: draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your device.

PIN: enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.

12

Internet version. For personal use only.

Password: enter an alpha-numeric password to unlock your device.

Fingerprint: place your registered finger on the sensor to unlock your device.

Hint

The Smart Lock feature lets you set your device to unlock automatically in certain situations, such as when connected to a Bluetooth device or carrying your device with you. Go to http://www.support.google.com/ and search “smart lock” for more information.

To create or change a screen lock

Note

It is very important that you remember your screen lock when using a pattern, PIN or password. If you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as contacts and messages.

1 Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Screen lock.

2If requested, confirm your current screen lock.

3Choose an option and follow the on-screen instructions.

4When a secure screen lock is used, you can set the power key to lock the screen, set the screen lock activation time and create a lock screen message by tapping (Settings icon).

Hint

If you use a Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® (EAS) account, the EAS security settings may limit the lock screen type to only a PIN or password. Contact your network administrator to check the implemented network security policies.

Fingerprint Manager

Register your fingerprint to use it as an additional security method for unlocking your device or authenticating purchases. You can register up to 5 fingerprints on your device.

The pattern, PIN, or password screen lock serves as a backup unlock method when a fingerprint is used as a screen lock. Before registering your fingerprint, make sure the sensor is clean and without any visible moisture.

To register a fingerprint for the first time

Finding, locking or erasing a lost device

Google offers a location and security web service called Find my device. After you have signed in to a Google account, Find my device is turned on by default. If you lose your device, you can use Find my device to:

Find and show where your device is located on a map.

Lock your device and present a message on the lock screen.

Unlock your device and reset it by erasing its content.

Activate the ringer, even if the sound is turned off.

Your device must be turned on, have an internet connection, and have the location service activated. The Find my device service may not be available in all countries or regions.

For additional information about Find my device, go to https:// support.google.com/ and search for “Find my device.”

15

Internet version. For personal use only.

To verify that your device can be found

Go to https //www.google.com/ ndroid/find and sign in using your Google account.

Using location services

Location services allow applications such as Maps and the camera to use information from your mobile or Wi-Fi network as well as GPS (Global Positioning System) information to determine your approximate location. If you’re not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using the Wi-Fi function. And if you’re not within range of a network, your device can determine your location using your mobile network.

In order to use your device to find out where you are, you need to enable location services.

To enable or disable location services

1 Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Location.

2Tap the switch to enable or disable location services.

Improving GPS accuracy

The first time you use the GPS function in your device, it can take a few minutes for your location to be found. To help the search, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. Stand still and don’t cover the GPS antenna. GPS signals can pass through clouds and plastic, but not through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains. If your location isn’t found after a few minutes, move to another location.
