- 1. What does AutoLock do?
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- AutoLock goes beyond the simple security built in to the Palm. AutoLock
- automatically protects the data in your Palm by presenting you with a
- password screen each time you turn on the Palm device. A common PIN security
- interface is presented to the user. Your PIN can be up to 8 digits long.
-
- AutoLock also allows you to determine when the password must be entered.
- Always, Once an Hour, Once a Day, Never
-
- If you choose Always then you have even more choices:
- Always Ask
- 15 seconds
- 1 minute
- 5 minutes
- ...
- 12 hours
- If you choose 1 minute then if you turn your Palm device back on within
- 1 minute you will not be prompted for the password.
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------
- 2. System Requirements
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- AutoLock requires Palm OS 3.5 or higher. This includes the Palm IIIc and
- Palm IIIxe.
-
- If you do not have Palm OS 3.5 then you might be able to upgrade see:

- 5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- Q. AutoLock is crashing and I can't reset my Palm device.
- A1. This is usually a result of AutoLock and another program conflicting.
- Hold the Up Arrow button and press the reset switch. This will reset
- the Palm device and not load any applications (other than AutoLock). You can
- then disable the conflicting application or remove AutoLock.
-
- Q. Where do I get Palm OS 3.5?
- A. Ask Palm Computing. http://www.palm.com/software/palmos35.html
-
- Q. Does AutoLock run on the HandSpring Visor.
- A. No/Yes. The original Visor does not accept ROM upgrades so you cannot
- upgrade to Palm OS 3.5 which is required for AutoLock. The newer Visor
- models have Palm OS 3.5 and AutoLock will work on Visors with Palm OS 3.5.
-
- Q. Will you release AutoLock for pre-3.5 systems?
- A. No. 3.5 has system support to allow AutoLock to perform its function
- that is not available on previous systems. If you can upgrade to Palm OS 3.5
- then I suggest you do so.
