5.6 Lock
To protect the data stored in your iKôn PDA, you can assign a password that must be entered
each time the unit is switched on.
• Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the Lock icon.
It is critical that you store your password in a safe place. If you forget it, a ‘clean start’ must
be performed by certified Psion Teklogix personnel. A clean start returns the PDA to factory
settings. Only the data stored in a CF or SD memory card are preserved.
• Tap in the checkbox next to Prompt if device unused to turn on password protection.
• Choose the amount of time that the unit can remain idle before you are prompted to
enter your password.
•In the Password type dropdown menu, choose the type of password you prefer to assign.
Simple PIN allows you to enter a minimum of four numeric characters. Strong alphanu-
meric requires a minimum of 7 characters and must contain at least three of the
following: uppercase and lowercase alpha characters, numbers and punctuation.
• Tap on the Hint tab to enter a word or phrase that will remind you of your password.
The iKôn PDA will display the hint after the wrong password is entered five times.
• Tap on OK. A dialog box asks whether or not you want to save you password settings.
Tap on YES to save your password assignment.
