Your Phone stores a lot of sensitive information, such as personal photos, contact information,
banking apps (for example, Alipay). Set a lock screen password so that a password is required each
time you unlock your Phone. A lock screen password helps to protect your private information if your
Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorized user.
Set a lock screen password: Open Settings, go to Security & privacy > Lock screen
password, and set the type of lock screen password you prefer.

simple. For better security, use a long sequence of random numbers as your PIN. Go to Set lock
screen password, follow the prompts to set up a PIN. Alternatively, touch Change unlock
method, and set 4-digit PIN or Custom PIN.
lSet a pattern: Unlock your Phone by drawing a preset pattern on the screen. For better security,

unlock method > Pattern and draw the same pattern twice. The pattern must connect at least 4
dots.
lSet a password: A password made up of numbers, letters, and special characters is more secure
than a PIN or pattern. For better security, use a password with 8 or more characters that includes
numbers, letters, and special characters. Be sure to memorize the password so that you don't get
locked out of your Phone if you forget it. Go to Set lock screen password > Change unlock
method > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.

NFC
Introduction to NFC
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables short-distance wireless communication.
Through NFC's contactless communication, two devices can transfer data in real time when they are
within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other. In addition to data transfer, NFC also allows you to make
payments.

NFC can be used in multiple scenarios with different requirements and methods.
Point-to-point mode: Transfers data between two NFC-enabled devices within a short distance. No
pairing is required and a more secure connection is established.
Scenarios
lTransfer les (such as images, apps, and contacts).
lQuickly establish a connection between devices (like Bluetooth pairing or hotspot sharing).
Limitations

lBoth devices need to support NFC.
lDuring data transmission, devices must be within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other.
lScreen must be on and unlocked when using NFC.
Read/Write mode: Supports reading and writing NFC tags.
Scenarios：Check product information with NFC tags.
Limitations
lCards and products must support reading and writing NFC tags
lRead and write/P2P must be enabled on the NFC settings screen if available. This feature may vary
depending on your carrier.
Card emulation mode: Allows your Phone to act as a smart card so it can access mobile ticketing for
public transport, and mobile payments.
Scenarios
HCE emulation: Allows your Phone to act as a QuickPass-enabled bank card by associating your
device with a physical bank card in a banking app.
Limitations
HCE emulation: For example, UnionPay Cloud QuickPass. First download the app for your bank card
and associate your card with the app. For details, consult your bank's customer service center. Then
enable NFC, set a specic bank app as your default payment app in NFC while keeping the screen on
and unlocked. To make Cloud QuickPass payments, your card and the POS device must support
QuickPass.

lThe icon indicates that your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi.
lThe icon in the bottom left of the signal bar indicates that your device is connected to
the Internet over mobile data.
114
lAutomatically turn Wi-Fi on: Depending on the Wi-Fi networks you have connected to previously,
Wi-Fi will be automatically enabled in specic locations. This will prevent your device from
constantly searching for new networks.
lAssess the quality of available networks: Evaluate currently available network hotspots and
prevent your device from automatically connecting to networks with no Internet connection.
Connect to Wi-Fi
By connecting your device to a Wi-Fi network, you can effectively save mobile data.
To avoid potential security risks (such as unauthorized access to your personal data and nancial
