5.6 Lock
To protect the data stored in your EP10, 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 EP10 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 drop-down menu, choose the type of password you prefer to
assign. Simple PIN allows you to enter a minimum of four numeric characters. Strong
alphanumeric 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 EP10 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.
