ABOUT ANTI-THEFT
The Anti-Thief component is designed to ensure protection of data stored on the mobile device against unauthorized
access to it in case the device was list or stolen.
This component includes the following functions:
SMS-Block allows blocking the device at the user's discretion.
SMS-Clean allows to erase user's personal data (all contacts, messages, gallery, calendar, log, network
connection settings), data from the storage card and files from folder My Documents.
SIM-Watch allows to send to the specified phone number and/or to e-mail address a new phone number and to
block the stolen device if the SIM card was replaced or if the device is turned on without the SIM card.
SMS-Find allows to determine the geographical coordinates of the device and to send them to the requesting
devices or to a certain e-mail address using an SMS message. This function only works with devices with in-built
GPS receiver.
Stealth SMS allows to erase personal data from the device, block it and obtain its geographical coordinates
using a special SMS message.
When you access the Anti-Theft for the first time you will have to set up a secret code (if it has not been set up earlier).
The secret code is used to prevent unauthorized access to the Anti-Theft settings. This code will also be used to access
the settings of the Parental control and Encryption components and for creating a Slealth SMS.
Information about the component's operation is saved to the program log (see section “Program logs” on page 144).
