To unlock the phone
If you don’t use the phone for a while, the screen and backlight will turn off to conserve battery power. To unlock the phone’s default Lock screen:
NOTE | The default Lock screen simply locks the screen to prevent unintentional actions. For more security to guard against unauthorized use, you can set an unlock requirement (such as a Knock Code, Pattern, PIN, Password, or Fingerprints) that will need to be entered to unlock it. |
- Turn the screen on.
- Press the Power/Lock button.
NOTE | Avoid covering the proximity sensor when turning the screen on. Doing so, prevents the screen from turning on. |
OR
- Quickly double-tap the center of the screen (KnockON).
|
- From the center of the screen, swipe in any direction to unlock it.
- To use a shortcut, swipe upward across the shortcut icon (at the bottom of the screen). The screen will unlock and launch the app.
NOTE | You can set the shortcut apps you want in the Lock screen settings. |
