• Download and install applications from Google Play™.

• Synchronize email, contacts, and the calendar.

• Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.

Screen Pinning

Use screen pinning to set your device to display only the screen for a specific application. For example, if you are playing a game and you accidentally touch the Home navigation key, the screen pinning feature prevents the active game app screen from being minimized. You can also use this feature when you lend your device to another person to make it harder for them to access more than one application. For example, you can lend your device to somebody to take a photo and pin the screen to the Camera application so that the person can't easily use other apps such as Email.

Screen pinning is not a security feature and does not fully prevent other users from unpinning a screen and accessing your device. To protect your data, you should set up your device to request a screen lock PIN, password, or pattern before someone can unpin the screen.

To Activate Screen Pinning

1 From your Homescreen, tap 2 Find and tap Settings > Security > Screen pinning. 3 Drag the slider to the right. 4 If you haven't set up a pattern, PIN, or password screen lock on your device,

drag the slider beside Lock device when unpinning to the right, then select an option. If you already have a screen lock enabled, then drag the slider to activate the relevant security option after you activate screen pinning.

A pattern, PIN, or password is not mandatory for screen pinning to work.

Screen lock

There are several ways to lock the screen. The security level of each lock type is listed below in order of weakest to strongest:

• 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

Unlocking Your Device Automatically

The Smart Lock feature makes unlocking your device easier by letting you set it to unlock automatically in certain situations. You can keep your device unlocked, for example, when it’s connected to a Bluetooth® device or when you’re carrying it with you.

To prepare your device to unlock automatically, you first need to perform the following steps in the order given:

• Make sure you have an active Internet connection, preferably a Wi-Fi® connection to

limit data traffic charges.

• Make sure all your apps are updated using the Play Store™ application in order to

ensure that the Google Play™ services app is updated. Having an up-to-date Google Play™ services app ensures that you can use the latest Smart Lock features.

• Enable Smart Lock.

This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.

• Set when you want your device to unlock automatically.

The Smart Lock feature is developed by Google™ and the exact functionality may change over time due to updates from Google™.

The Smart Lock feature may not be available in every market, country, or region.

To Enable Smart Lock

1 Make sure you’ve set a pattern, PIN, or password for your screen lock. 2 From your Homescreen, tap . 3 Find and tap Settings > Security > Trust agents. 4 Drag the slider beside Smart Lock (Google) to the right. 5 Tap the back arrow next to Trust agents. 6 Find and tap Smart Lock. 7 Enter your pattern, PIN, or password. You need to enter this screen lock every

time you want to change your Smart Lock settings.

8 Select a Smart Lock type.

Setting When to Keep the Device Automatically Unlocked

You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:

• Trusted devices – keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® device is

connected.

• Trusted places – keep your device unlocked when you're in a trusted location.

• On-body detection – Keep your device unlocked when you're carrying your device

with you. You have to manually unlock your device when you don't use it for 4 hours and after

you restart it.

Connecting to Trusted Bluetooth® Devices

You can designate a connected Bluetooth® device as a "trusted" device and keep your Xperia™ device unlocked while it’s connected to it. So if you have Bluetooth® devices you connect to regularly, for example, a car speaker or home entertainment system, a Bluetooth® watch, or a fitness tracker, you can add them as trusted devices and bypass the added security of a lockscreen to save time. This feature is suitable if you’re normally in a relatively secure place when you use these devices. In some cases, you may still need to manually unlock your device before a trusted device can be connected.

It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as trusted devices, for example, Bluetooth® keyboards or cases.

As soon as a trusted Bluetooth® device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen locks and you need your PIN, pattern, or password to unlock it.

To Add a Trusted Bluetooth® Device

1 Make sure your device is paired and connected to the Bluetooth® device you

want to add as a trusted device.

2 In the Smart Lock menu, tap Trusted devices. 3 Tap Add trusted device > Bluetooth. 4 Tap a device name to select it from the list of connected devices. Only paired

devices appear in this list.

5 Depending on the security of your connection, you may need to manually

unlock your device before the trusted device can keep it unlocked.

To Remove a Trusted Bluetooth® Device

1 From your Homescreen, tap

2 Find and tap Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices. 3 Tap the device you want to remove. 4 Tap Remove trusted device.

Making Sure You're Secure when Using Trusted Devices

Different Bluetooth® devices support different Bluetooth® standards and security capabilities. There's a chance someone could keep your Xperia™ device unlocked by imitating your Bluetooth® connection, even if your trusted device is no longer nearby. Your device is not always able to determine whether your connection is secure from someone trying to imitate it.

When your device can't determine that you're using a secure connection, you'll get a notification on your Xperia™ device and may need to manually unlock it before the trusted device can keep it unlocked.

Bluetooth® connectivity range can vary depending on factors like the model of your device, the connected Bluetooth® device, and your environment. Depending on these factors, Bluetooth® connections can work over distances of up to 325 feet (100 meters). If someone takes your Xperia™ device while it's near a trusted device, they may be able to access your Xperia™ device if the trusted device has unlocked it.

Connecting to Trusted Places

When the Trusted places feature is set up, the lockscreen security on your Xperia™ device gets disabled when you are in a designated trusted location. For this feature to work, you must have an Internet connection (preferably over Wi-Fi®) and allow your device to use your current location.

To set up trusted places, first make sure high-accuracy location mode or batterysaving location mode is enabled on your device before you add home or custom locations.

The exact dimensions of a trusted location are an estimate and may extend beyond the physical walls of your home or other area you have added as a trusted location. This feature can keep your device unlocked within a radius of up to 260 feet (80 meters). Also, be aware that location signals can be replicated or manipulated. Someone with access to specialized equipment could unlock your device.

To Add Your Home Location

1 Make sure location mode is turned on and you are using either the High

accuracy or Battery saving setting.

2 From your Homescreen, tap

3 Find and tap Settings > Security > Smart Lock >Trusted places > Home. 4 Tap Turn on this location.

2 From your Homescreen, tap

If your home has multiple buildings at the same address, the trusted place you want to add might be different from the actual address. To ensure better location accuracy, you can add the actual location of your home within the building complex as a custom place.

To Remove Your Home Location

1 Make sure location mode is turned on and you are using either the High

accuracy or Battery saving setting.

2 From your Homescreen, tap

3 Find and tap Settings > Security > Smart Lock >Trusted places > Home. 4 Tap Turn off this location.

Keeping Your Device Unlocked while You’re Carrying It

Using the On-body detection feature, you can have your device stay unlocked when you have it on you, for example, if you're carrying it in your hand, pocket, or bag. The accelerometer in your device keeps your device unlocked when it senses that it's being carried. The device locks when the accelerometer detects that the device has been put down.

The On-body detection feature can't distinguish whose body is connected. If you give your device to someone else while it's unlocked using On-body detection, your device may stay unlocked for the other user. Keep in mind that On-body detection as a security feature is less secure than a pattern, PIN, or password.

To Enable On-Body Detection

1 From your Homescreen, tap . 2 Find and tap Settings > Security > Smart Lock > On-body detection. 3 Drag the slider beside Off to the right, then tap OK.

Using On-body Detection

your device locks automatically.

• After you put your device down, for example, if you place it on a table, your device

can take up to one minute to lock.

• After you get into a car, bus, train, or other land vehicle, your device can take

• Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or other non-land-based vehicles),

your device may not lock automatically, so be sure to lock it manually if needed.
