Security

You can further protect your device by requiring a PIN to be entered to unlock the phone. This helps protect data contained in lost or stolen devices.

  Tip
Sunbeam Wireless cannot access or reset your PIN. If your PIN is forgotten, the only way to unlock the device is by performing a factory reset, using a special key sequence which will erase all data from the device.

This factory reset can be performed by pressing the volume down key and simultaneously holding the red power button. Once the device begins to boot, release the red power button. The device will boot display several lines of nonstandard characters with English letters “eMMC” contained within one of the lines. Navigate to that line and press any button. This will initiate a factory reset and remove the PIN from the device.

Setting a pin

To set a pin code, press PIN>Yes>enter a 4 digit pin code>write down your code and keep it in a secure location >press Next >re-enter your pin code>press OK. Your device will now require this code to be entered anytime it is flipped open or turned on.

Unlocking with a pin

To unlock your phone using the pin code: Flip the phone open>press the Menu key >enter your pin using the keypad> press the center key . On select models with a touchscreen, the pin code can also be entered using the on-screen keyboard and "OK" button.

This contains information about your phone and reset options.

Reset Options

  • DRM reset This is a tool that you will find within phones for the purpose of reset or reaffirming the licensing agreement within the software. This reset is rarely used for troubleshooting and should be used only when instructed to do so.

  • Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth This is used to reset network connections on the phone. It will reset the network settings and also erase saved Bluetooth devices and Wi-Fi network passwords. It will not erase any other user data. This is a common troubleshooting method for forcing your phone to automatically select your APNs again. If you are using a carrier that requires manually entered APNs, you will need to re-enter them after this reset. After doing a network reset, you will need to turn the phone off and back on.

  • Reset app preferences Reset app preferences is used to reset your apps and turn back on any setting that may have been turned off allowing your apps to not work as intended. It does not remove any data (text messages, contacts etc.) that is stored on your phone. Unlike the prior reset this does not give you a prompt that it has been completed.

  • Erase all data (factory reset)This will remove all data from the phone and reset it to factory settings. While this is a good tool for clearing up software and app issues, please note it will delete all information on your phone. Any information that has not been backed up will be lost.
