Location Access
The Location Access screen has a toggle to turn access on or off for all apps. One mode allows you to opt for high
accuracy that uses all location information to determine your location but uses more power. Or you can select
Battery saving mode that only uses external networks to determine your location while turning off advanced
sensors inside the tablet that interact with GPS satellites.
Applications that have requested access to your location are listed. Tap any application in the list to control how
that application uses your location data.
Security
 Screen lock: Select the type of lock you want enabled so that other people cannot easily access your tablet or
its data.
• None
No password, no lock
• Slide
Slide your finger across the screen to unlock.
• Pattern
Select a pattern screen lock that is visible on the lock screen. Select Screen lock to
display a grid. You enter a swipe pattern on the grid that will be used to unlock the
tablet. Select Confirm saved pattern when you are satisfied of the swipe pattern.
• Pin
Create a Pin to unlock your tablet.
• Password
Create a Password to unlock your tablet.
 Automatically lock: Toggle setting that allows you to tell the tablet to lock as soon as it goes to sleep.
 Power button instantly locks: Toggle setting
 Enable widgets: Toggle setting that enables screen widgets to be active and accessible even when the tablet is
locked. This can be very convenient for media, news, and weather widgets so you can access them without
entering a password but is very dangerous for mail or other apps that could make sensitive personal data
available to anyone who has access to your tablet.
 Owner info: Allows you to list name and contact info on the lock screen so that someone who finds the tablet
knows who the tablet belongs to.
 Encryption: You can encrypt the storage on your tablet so, if anyone takes your tablet, they cannot get at your
data even if they move the storage device to another tablet. Enabling this function also sets up the system to
automatically wipe your data if more than 10 attempts are made to log into your tablet. When your storage is
encrypted, every read and write from storage requires extra processing so it does consume extra power.
However, the Tegra 4 processor has plenty of performance to make this almost unnoticeable.
 Encrypt tablet: This operation takes a long time, so you have to fully charge your battery before performing
encryption.
