Set options for unlocking the screen

The screen locks five seconds (you can change this interval) after it turns off automatically, or immediately if you press power to turn off the screen. Use Secure Unlock if you want to require a PIN or a password to unlock the screen.

Tip If your company issued your device to you, check with your system administrator whether the company has its own settings for locking and unlocking the screen of your device.

1. Open Screen & Lock.
2. To turn Secure Unlock on: Under Secure Unlock, tap Simple PIN or Password and do one of the following:
   
   Simple PIN: Enter a PIN that is four or more digits. This is a PIN that you make up. Enter the PIN again to confirm, and then tap Done.
   
   
   
   Password: Enter a password containing any combination of letters and numbers, and then tap Done. Enter the password again to confirm, and then tap Done.
   
   

   Important Be sure to write down your PIN or password and keep it somewhere safe. If you forget your PIN or password, you need to remotely reset your device and you may lose data.

3. (Optional) In Lock After, tap the number of seconds or minutes to set the time interval the device is idle before the device locks, requiring you to enter the PIN/password to unlock the device. This can be the same as or different from the interval after which the screen turns off.
4. To turn Secure Unlock off: Under Secure Unlock, tap Off. Enter the PIN or password, and then tap Done.

   Tip To change your PIN or password, under Secure Unlock, tap Change PIN or Change Password. Enter the old PIN/password and the new PIN/password.

Get notifications when the screen is locked or off

A notification alerts you to an incoming or missed call; an incoming voicemail, email, or text message; an upcoming event; and more. A notification can be a message that appears at the bottom of the screen or a blinking light in the gesture area.

1. Open Screen & Lock.
2. Under Notifications, in Show When Locked, tap On or Off to set whether notifications are displayed when the screen is locked.
3. Under Notifications, in Blink Notifications, tap On or Off. If blink notifications are turned on, when the screen is off, the light in the gesture area pulses when a notification arrives and continues to pulse until you tap the notification or turn on the screen. Blink notifications are on by default.

Use voice dialing when the screen is locked

On devices running HP webOS 2.x, if you turn on the preference to use voice dialing when the screen is locked, you access voice dialing by turning on the screen if it is off, and then pressing and holding volume. You do not need to enter your PIN or password to unlock the screen.

If this preference is on and you have a headset attached to your phone, you can access voice dialing when the screen is locked by pressing and holding the button on the headset—you don’t need to turn the screen on first.

1. Open Screen & Lock.
2. Under Voice Dialing, in Enable When Locked, tap On or Off.
