Personal Information and Data
Security
The use of some functions or third-party applications on
your device could result in your personal information and
data being lost or becoming accessible to others. Several
measures are recommended to help you protect personal
and confidential information.
•
Place your device in a safe area to prevent it from
unauthorized use.
•
Set your device screen to lock and create a password
or unlock pattern to open it.
•
Periodically back up personal information kept on
your SIM card, memory card, or stored in your device
memory. If you change to a different device, be sure
to move or delete any personal information on your
old device.
•
If you are worried about viruses when you receive
messages or emails from a stranger, you can delete
them without opening them.
•
If you use your device to browse the Internet, avoid
websites that might pose a security risk to avoid theft
of your personal information.
•
If you use services such as Wi-Fi tether or Bluetooth,
set passwords for these services to prevent
unauthorized access. When these services are not in
use, turn them off.
•
Install or upgrade device security software and
regularly scan for viruses.
