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.
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.

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.
