Device lock
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 most of the keys do not respond until the
handheld is unlocked. The exception is the
Power key, which always respond when
pressed.
Communication with external devices such as a GNSS receiver, or external sensors
used by GNSS field software, is not interrupted by locking the handheld. This means
that you can keep using the GNSS 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 GNSS receiver so that you can continue
recording GNSS positions.
The lock screen provides multiple unlock sliders for different applications, when there
are new notifications. For example, if a new email has arrived, an email unlock slider
takes you straight to the email.
To unlock the device, slide the Unlock icon for the required
application to take you straight to that application.
You can 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.
