If your device is ever lost or stolen, you need to access a web browser on any device and log in to the
Anti-Theft Web Console to secure your device. You can then choose to track your device's location or lock down your device.

You now need to decide whether to put your device in stealth mode or lockdown mode:
| • | To keep your device on, lock your files, and track your device's location when it's connected to the Internet, select
Start stealth mode, then click
Continue.
|
| • | To stop tracking your device and immediately lock it down so it's useless to thieves, select
Lock down my device, then click
Continue. If necessary, change the message you'd like to appear onscreen when your device restarts after it locks down. You can also change the
Anti-Theft password that you'll need to unlock your device after it locks down. Click
Shut down.
|
 | Before your device can change modes, it must first connect to the Internet and sync with your account. This can take several minutes.

When your device syncs with your account, the web console displays your device's new mode (stealth mode or lockdown mode).
