Locking your phone and data
Your Treo includes several features that help you protect your phone from inadvertent
use and keep your data private. The built-in security software enables you to use your
Treo for emergency calls even if the handset is locked.
• Keyguard: Manually disables all buttons and the touchscreen to prevent them from
being pressed accidentally in your briefcase or pocket.
• Auto-Keyguard and touchscreen lockout: Automatically enables Keyguard after a
period of inactivity, and lets you disable the touchscreen during an active call or call
alert.
• Phone Lock: Requires a password to make calls with your phone.
• System password lock: Requires a password to see any data on your Treo.
• Private records: Masks or hides items marked as private, and requires a password
to view them.
Keyguard
Your Treo includes a feature that locks the keyboard, so that screen items and buttons
aren’t accidentally pressed while the phone is in a pocket or bag.
1. With the Treo screen on, press Option and the Screen button to enable
Keyguard.
2. To disable Keyguard, press Center.
When you receive or make
a call, the touchscreen on
the Active call screen may
be automatically disabled
to prevent accidental
termination of a call. You
must use the 5-way
navigation control to
access the buttons on the
Active call screen. Check
the Keyguard settings in
Preferences.
