For example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen lock information can use the device. All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
- Setascreenlock:Ifyourdeviceislostorstolenbutyouhaveascreen lockset,thedevicecan’tbeerasedusingtheSettingsmenuunless your screen is unlocked.
- Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but you have your Google account on it, the device can’t finish the setup process until your Google account information is entered again. After your device is protected, you’ll need to either unlock your screen or enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
- Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can’t provide the account information during the setup process, you won’t be able to use the device at all after performing the factory reset.Appendix 106 More information Open Source Software Notice Information To obtain the source code under GPL, LGPL, MPL, and other opensourcelicenses,thatiscontainedinthisproduct,pleasevisit http://opensource.lge.com
