Essential iHound Security Tips for your iPhone and/or iPod Touch
At iHound, we are focused on helping you use your mobile devices more securely, protecting your digital identity from the time you turn on your new iPhone and/or iPod Touch. As your iPhone or iPod Touch becomes an integral part of your daily routine, you will begin to "trust" your device. Eventually, as you input more information into your phone you may find yourself at risk of having your online identity stolen or losing valuable personal information if your iPhone is ever lost or stolen. These risks are easier to mitigate than one might initially believe. Follow these four essential tips and you can potentially save yourself weeks of damage control. So, even if you use your iPhone strictly for play, it pays to implement iHound and dramatically reduce the possibilities of losing your device.

iPhone, iPod Touch Security Tip #1: Download and enable iHound software

Visit www.ihoundsoftware.com, sign up for a free user account and then purchase and download iHound Software for the iPhone. Combined with the security tips below, your chances of recovering a lost or stolen iPhone increases dramatically.

iPhone, iPod Touch Security Tip #2: Enable Auto-Lock

One of the most basic iPhone security functions is the Auto-Lock feature. This feature locks your device's touch screen once the device has been left unused for a preset period of time. Users can choose to set their iPhones to lock after not being used for one, two, three, four or five minutes.

Auto-Lock is turned on by default, however you can change these settings by first clicking the main iPhone Settings icon, tapping the General tab and then hitting Auto-Lock, and then select the desired time period. Finally, exit the Auto-Lock and Settings screens by tapping the box in the display's top left corner.

Though Auto-Lock is not exactly a security function on its own, when combined with the Pass-code safeguard described below, and iHound software you will increase the security of your digital life dramatically.

iPhone, iPod Touch Security Tip #3: Enable Pass-code Lock

The iPhone Auto-Lock disables the device's screen for a preset time-period of non-use, when combined with the top two security tips, the Pass-code Lock feature reduces the risk of your device being lost or stolen. Whenever the device's display locks, no matter why, Pass-code Lock requires a four-digit code to be entered before anyone can use the device again.

To turn on Pass-code Lock, simply click the main iPhone Settings icon, hit General and then tap Pass-code Lock. On the Pass-code Lock menu screen, enable the function by tapping Turn Pass-code On. Then you will be prompted to enter a new pass-code. Quality passwords are completely random and should not be chosen based on anniversaries, birthdays or other dates, numbers that could be uncovered by a thief or hacker.

iPhone iPod Touch Security Tip #4: Activate iHound When You Finish Using Your iPhone

When you are finished with a phone call, checking your email, playing a game, or using your iPhone for any other reason, simply launch the iHound application and put your iPhone in sleep mode (by pressing the button on the top of the phone). If you accidentally leave your iPhone behind, or if it gets stolen, here's what will happen:

1. While you are connected to a carrier network, iHound will continue delivering its location to the server.

2. Any time someone tries to "wake up" your iPhone, the passcode lock challenge will appear. While this is happening, iHound is continuing to call home in the background.

You can now track your iPhone at our web site.

Additional Tip: In order to make launching iHound super easy to remember, we recommend placing the iHound icon in your iPhone's home dock (the icons that always appear on the bottom of the screen).

Additional Tips for iPod Touch Users

Since iPod Touch is not connected to a carrier network, iHound will only be able to phone home when the device is awake and connected to a Wi-Fi network. Be sure to connect to as many safe Wi-Fi networks as you can, especially when at a Wi-Fi network in which you frequent. The more networks this product can automatically connect to, the easier it will become to locate your lost or stolen iPod Touch. As you connect to these "friendly" networks, your device will spend less time identifying and connecting to networks and more time connecting to iHound's network, helping you recover a lost or stolen device in the future.

What If I Forgot To Activate iHound And Lock My iPhone?

In cases where you lose your iPhone, do not have iHound activated, and do not have passcode lock enabled, there is still a chance you will be able to track and recover your device. If someone uses your iPhone and launches the iHound application, your device will be located and trackable.

When combined, these simple security tips will help you live a more secure mobile lifestyle and that is what iHound is all about.
