Your smartphone will display the lock screen. Tap and drag starting from the bottom left corner to peel the screen and unlock the smartphone. For additional security, you may set a screen lock pattern, a set of dots that must be tapped in the correct order to access the phone. Open the applications menu and tap Settings > Location & security > Set up screen lock. Note: If you forget your unlock pattern, please refer to "Unlock pattern" on page 51.
