    Locking and unlocking the device

    The 	device 	automatically 	gets 	locked 	if 	it 	is 	not 	used 	for 	a 	specified 	period. 	This 	helps 	to	
    prevent 	accidental 	taps 	and 	saves 	battery 	power.

    Password.  
    						
    							17Getting to know your device
    NOTE: Create a Google account before setting an unlock pattern and 
    remember the Backup PIN you created when creating your pattern lock.
    Caution!  If you haven't created a Google account on the device and you 
    forgot your PIN, Password, and the backup PIN, you need to perform a hard 
    reset. If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data will be 
    deleted. Please remember to back up any important data before performing 
    a hard reset.
    TIP! Smart Lock•	You can use Smart Lock to make unlocking your device easier. You can set 
    it to keep your device unlocked when you have a trusted Bluetooth device 
    connected to it, when it's in a familiar location like your home or work, or when 
    it recognizes your face.
    •	Setting up Smart Lock
    1   Tap  >  >  >  Display  > Lock screen  > Smart Lock .
    2   Before you add any trusted devices, trusted places, or trusted face, you

    Touch screen tips
    Here	are 	some 	tips 	on 	how 	to 	navigate 	on 	your 	device.
    •	Tap or touch 	– 	A 	single 	finger 	tap 	selects 	items, 	links, 	shortcuts 	and 	letters 	on 	the	
    on-screen 	keyboard.
    •	Touch and hold 	– 	Touch 	and 	hold 	an 	item 	on 	the 	screen 	by 	tapping 	it 	and 	not	
    lifting 	your 	finger 	until 	an 	action 	occurs.
    •	Drag 	– 	Touch 	and 	hold 	an 	item 	for 	a 	moment 	and 	then, 	without 	lifting 	your 	finger, 	
    move 	your 	finger 	on 	the 	screen 	until 	you 	reach 	the 	target 	position. 	You 	can 	drag	
    items 	on 	the 	Home 	screen 	to 	reposition 	them.
    •	Swipe or slide 	– 	To 	swipe 	or 	slide, 	quickly 	move 	your 	finger 	across 	the 	surface	
    of 	the 	screen, 	without 	pausing 	when 	you 	first 	tap 	it 	(so 	you 	don't 	drag 	an 	item	
    instead).
    •	Double-tap 	– 	Double-tap 	to 	zoom 	on 	a 	webpage 	or 	a 	map.
    •	Pinch-to-Zoom 	– 	Use 	your 	index 	finger 	and 	thumb 	in 	a 	pinching 	or 	spreading	
    motion 	to 	zoom 	in 	or 	out 	when 	using 	the 	browser, 	Maps, 	or 	when 	viewing 	pictures.
    •	Rotate the screen 	– 	From 	many 	applications 	and 	menus, 	the 	screen 	orientation	
    adjusts 	to 	the 	device's 	physical 	orientation.
    NOTE:•	Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet 
    firm tap.
    •	Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any 
    other buttons.
