Protecting confidential information
With Anti-theft, you can make sure that your device or data stored on it is not misused if your device is stolen.
Anti-theft can alert you if somebody changes the SIM card in your device.
If you lose your device, you can send an SMS text message to your device to locate it or lock it remotely.
•
After the device is locked, it can be unlocked only with the remote lock code or screen unlock pattern.
Note:
To use the remote lock, keep the device lock or screen unlock pattern of your device turned
on.
You can wipe the data in the device remotely with the remote wipe.
•
On Symbian and Windows Mobile devices; when you send an SMS message to wipe your device, the
product deletes all the information stored in the device memory.
•
On Android devices; when you send an SMS message to wipe your device, the product removes information
in the inserted SD card, SMS and MMS messages, contacts and calendar information. In addition, we
recommend that you change the password of your Google account.
Note:
As memory cards can be easily removed, store your confidential information in the device memory.
