Protect your YotaPhone

Lock your screen

1. On the home screen, tap > Settings > PERSONAL > Security > SCREEN SECURITY > Screen lock.
2. Tap to choose a screen lock option:
   • None - No screen lock. This option provides no protection.
   • Slide - Swipe to unlock the phone. This option provides minimal protection.
   • Face Unlock - Use facial recognition to unlock the phone. This option is less secure than a pattern, PIN, or password, and is not available for the always-on display.
   • Pattern - Draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the phone.
   • PIN - Use a PIN code to unlock the phone. The PIN code must contain four or more numbers.
   • Password - Use a password to unlock the phone. The password must contain four or more letters or numbers.

When you set a password to lock your screen, keep the password in a safe place separate from your YotaPhone. If you forget your password and cannot unlock your YotaPhone because you have entered a wrong password too many times, you may need to get your YotaPhone serviced and possibly pay additional charges to unlock your YotaPhone. All the personal data in your YotaPhone may be deleted.

Lock your SIM card

A PIN code helps to protect your SIM card against unauthorised use. You can set your phone to ask for the PIN code when you switch it on. If the PIN code is not supplied with your SIM card or you have forgotten the code, contact your service provider.

1. On the home screen, tap > Settings > PERSONAL > Security > SIM CARD LOCK > Set up SIM card lock.
2. Tick Lock SIM card and enter the PIN code.

If you enter the PIN code incorrectly three times in succession, you must unblock the code with the PUK or PUK2 code. If you do not have them, contact your service provider.

Encrypt your data

You can protect and encrypt your phone data, such as Google Accounts, application data, music and other media, and downloaded information. If you encrypt your data, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you switch your phone on. If you have already set up a screen lock, you must use the same PIN or password. You cannot have two PINs or passwords.

Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

Before enabling encryption:

1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge your phone fully.

To enable encryption, on the home screen, tap > Settings > PERSONAL > Security > ENCRYPTION > Encrypt phone. The encryption may take an hour or more.

Do not interrupt the encryption process or you may lose some or all of your data.

Using radio transmitting equipment, including wireless devices, may interfere with inadequately shielded medical devices' functionality.

To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of medical devices recommend that the minimum distance between the wireless device and the medical device should be 15.3 centimetres.

If you are using a pacemaker, do not put the wireless device into a pocket near the heart.

Consult a physician or the medical device manufacturer if you have any questions about using your wireless device with a medical device.

Care and maintenance

• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device.
• If the device breaks, stop using the device immediately. Do not touch the broken parts of the screen. Contact an authorised service centre immediately.

Radio Frequency Exposure Information

Your YotaPhone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

As recommended by international guidelines, the device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and include safety measures designed to ensure safety for all users, regardless of age and health.

The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the device when being operated can be below that value. This is because the device is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.

The SAR limit recommended by ICNIRP is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. The highest SAR value for this YotaPhone device is 0.287 W/kg when tested at the ear, and 0.268 W/kg when properly worn on the body.

YotaPhone SAR value measurements have been conducted following EN 50360:2001/A1:2012 & EN 62209-1:2006 standards, and EN 50360:2001/AC & EN 62209-1:2006 standards respectively.
