Security Settings

Here’s how to protect your phone and SIM from unauthorized

use.

Protecting Your Phone With a Screen Lock

1. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings > Security.

2. Touch Screen lock.

3. Touch Long press, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN or Password.

 If you touch Long press, you must touch and hold

at the center of the screen to unlock the screen.

 If you touch Face Unlock, you’re prompted to let the

phone capture your face through the front camera and set a pattern or PIN. You must look at the front camera to unlock the screen. If the phone cannot recognize your face, you need to draw the pattern or enter the PIN.

 If you touch Pattern, you’re guided to create a pattern

you must draw to unlock the screen. The first time you do this, a short tutorial about creating an unlock

pattern appears. Then you’re prompted to draw and

redraw your own pattern.

 If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set

a numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your screen.

The next time you turn on your phone or wake up the screen, you must draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password to unlock it.

IMPORTANT: If you forget the pattern you set, try five times and touch Forget pattern? to sign in to the Google Account you have added on the phone and reset the screen lock. You need an active Internet connection. You can also upgrade the phone software. See

Upgrading the Phone Software.

Protecting Your Phone with Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you power on your phone.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

 Set a lock screen PIN or password.  Charge the battery.

 Keep the phone connected to the charger.  Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you

must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings > Security > Encrypt phone.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.

The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery's not charged or your phone's not plugged in.

If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch the Back Key.

WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Touch Encrypt phone.

4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.

5. Touch Encrypt phone again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.

When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your

PIN or password. Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each

time you power on your phone, to decrypt it.

Protecting Your SIM with a PIN

Every SIM card comes with a PIN. The initial PIN is provided

by your mobile phone carrier. It’s best to lock your SIM as

soon as you can.

1. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings > Security > Set up SIM/RUIM card lock.

2. Check Lock SIM card.

3. Enter the PIN you’ve been given and touch OK.

Changing Your SIM PIN

Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible causes

Possible solution

Poor reception

The network signal is too weak at your current location, for example, in a basement or near a tall building, because wireless transmissions cannot effectively reach it.

Move to a location where the network signal can be properly received.

The network is busy at the current time (for example, during peak times, there may be too much network traffic to handle additional calls).

Avoid using the phone at such times, or try again after waiting a short time.

You are too far away from a base station for your service provider.

You can request a service area map from your service provider.

If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.

Problem

Possible causes

Possible solution

Echo or noise

Poor network link quality on the part of your service provider.

End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network link or phone line.

Poor local telephone line quality.

End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network link or phone line.

Unable to select certain features

Your service provider does not support these features, or you have not applied for services that provide these features.

Contact your service provider.

Battery not charging

The battery or battery charger is damaged.

Contact the dealer.

The phone’s

temperature is below 0°C or higher than 45 °C.

Adjust the battery charging environment to avoid extremes of temperature.

Poor contact between the battery and charger.

Check all connectors to make sure all connections have been properly made.

Problem

Possible causes

Possible solution

Shortened standby time

The standby time is related to your service provider system configuration. The same phone used with different service

providers’ systems will

not provide exactly the same length of standby time.

If you are located in an area where signaling is weak, temporarily power off the phone.

The battery is depleted. In high temperature environments, battery life will be shortened.

Use a new battery.

If you are not able to connect to the network, the phone will continue to send out signals as it attempts to locate a base station. Doing so consumes battery power and will consequently shorten standby time.

Change your location to one where the network is accessible, or temporarily turn off your phone.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States, Industry Canada of Canada.

During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near the body with the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.

The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg by Industry Canada.

This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, and Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested, and meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the device directly contacted to the body.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of on FCC ID: SRQ-Z740.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 1.05W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.13 W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this device and the your body.
