To edit these Lock screen shortcuts:

  • From the Home screen, press Menu key and then tap Settings > Lock screen > Lock screen options.
  • In a single motion touch and slide the Shortcuts slider to the right to turn it on.
  • Tap the Shortcuts field to activate the menu.
  • Tap a shortcut icon you wish to replace.
  • From the select application menu, tap a replacement application.
  • Press Back key to return to the previous screen.

Lock Automatically

  • This option allows you to define the amount of time that must pass before the device can automatically lock on its own.

Note: This option only appears when a screen lock option is active.

Lock instantly with Power Key

  • When enabled, the screen is automatically locked after pressing the Power/Lock key.

Note: This option only appears when a screen lock option is active.
