Security
Your communicator comes with a Security application so that unauthorized users cannot view the 
entries you wish to protect. 
In Security, you can do the following:
nMask or hide entries you define as private. The Mask option displays a gray bar over private 
records, and the Hide option completely removes (hides) private records. See the section that 
begins on page 71 for more information.
nAssign a password to the Security viewing options. Assigning a password requires you to 
enter a password to view masked or hidden private entries; not assigning a password enables 
you (or anyone else) to view individual masked private entries by tapping them, and to view 
all hidden or masked private entries by selecting Show Records in the Security dialog box.
nLock and turn off your communicator so that it does not operate until you enter the correct 
password.
