The default Lock screen

The default Lock screen is Swipe which protects against unintentional touchscreen actions. Press the Power/Lock Key or the Home Key to illuminate the touchscreen if it timed-out. The Swipe default Lock screen is displayed, but you can still conveniently check the date, time, and Status Bar icons. You can drag the Status Bar down to open and use the Notifications Panel without unlocking the screen. In addition, you can also quickly access four shortcut apps (the Phone app , the Verizon Message app , the Email app , and the Camera app ) without unlocking the screen first. Simply swipe an icon upward to open and use it.
