Locking the device
Tap the Device Lock icon on the Start screen to lock the screen and keypad while the handheld
remains turned on.
Once the handheld is locked, the screen and the buttons do not respond until the handheld is
unlocked.
Communication with external devices such as a GPS receiver, or external sensors used by GPS field
software, is not interrupted by locking the handheld. This means that you can keep using the GPS
field software when the handheld is locked. For example, you could lock the device so that you can
safely transport it between features, while keeping the software connected to the GPS receiver so
that you can continue recording GPS positions.
The lock screen provides multiple unlock sliders for different applications, when there are new
notifications. For example, if a new e-mail has arrived, an e-mail unlock slider takes you straight to
the e-mail.
To unlock the device, tap Unlock, then tap Unlock on the screen.
You can also help to keep your data secure by requiring a password each time the handheld is
turned on. Tap /Settings/Lock to set a password or to change password settings.
Make sure you remember the password! The only way to recover from a forgotten password is to
factory-reset the handheld. This will erase all application software, licenses, settings, and data on
the device.
