Assigning Security Options
Your handheld includes a Security application that lets you protect your handheld from other users in a variety of ways:
• 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; not assigning a password lets you view private entries when you Show Records from the
Security dialog box.
• Lock and turn off your handheld 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
normally be displayed; when you hide records, they are not visible anywhere in the list. To mask a record, you must mark it as
private first.

1. Open the application where you want to make a record private.
