Security preferences
Your handheld comes with a Security feature so that unauthorized users cannot
view the entries you wish to protect. Use the Security feature to do the following:
■ Lock and turn off your handheld so that it does not operate until you enter the
correct password.
■ Mask all records that you mark as private so the information appears grayed
out.
■ Hide all records that you mark as private so they do not appear on any screen.
■ Encrypt records.
You can mask and hide private records with or without a password. Without a
password, private records are hidden or masked until you set the Security
preference to show them. With a password, you must enter the password to view
the private entries.
Assigning a password

handheld. To quickly logon, you can also assign a short quick password that only
works at your first logon attempt.

optional.
