Locking and unlocking the screen

When your device is on and left idle for a set period of time, the screen darkens to

save battery power and locks automatically. This lock prevents unwanted actions on

the touchscreen when you are not using it. When you buy your device, a basic screen

swipe lock is already set. This means that you have to swipe upwards on the screen

to unlock it. You can change the security settings later and add other kinds of locks.
