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/UIM 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.
• Be sure to obtain third-party applications from a legitimate source. Downloaded
third-party applications should be scanned for viruses.

providers.
• Some applications require and transmit location information. As a result, a third-
party may be able to share your location information.
