Using Your Phone’s Lock Feature
To prevent your phone from unauthorized use, you can require
the input of your lock code to access your phone’s features.
Locking and Unlocking Your Phone
When your phone is locked, you can only receive incoming
calls or make calls to 911, or special numbers (allowed
numbers).
To lock your phone:
1.
From the Security settings menu, select Phone lock and
one of the following options:

Tip:
If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four
