Setting a screen lock

Help protect your personal information and help prevent others from using HTC U Play without your permission.

1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Security.
2. Tap Screen lock.
3. Select a screen lock option and set up the screen lock.
4. Tap Automatically lock phone, then specify the idle time before the screen is locked.
   Tip: You can also clear Make pattern visible or Make passwords visible if you don’t want your screen lock to display as you enter it onscreen.
