Assigning security options
G18 User Manual 211
Assigning security options
Your pda phone includes a Security application that lets you set options to
protect entries from unauthorized users in a variety of ways:
The Security application lets you:
• Mask or hide entries you have defined as private. The Mask option
displays a gray bar over private records, and the Hide option
completely removes (hides) private records.
• Assign a password to viewing options to enhance security.
Assigning a password requires you to enter a password before
private entries can be viewed; no assigning a password lets you
view private entries when you Show Records from the Security
dialog box.
• Lock and turn off your pda phone so that a password must be
entered before you can use the device again.
• Hide records that you have defined as private, with or without a
password. Without a password, private records are hidden until you
set the Security application to display them; with a password, you
must enter the password to view the private entries.
Masking and hiding records
You can mask or hide private records. When you mask private records, a
visual placeholder appears where the record would be normally displayed;
when you hide records, they are not visible anywhere in the list.
To mask private records:
1. Make sure that the record or records you want to mask are defined as
private. To make a record private, select the record, tap Edit, tap
Details, and then tap the Private option.
2. From the Applications Launcher, tap Security.
3. From the Current Privacy pick list, tap Mask Records.
