Hi Tony, On the top right side of the phone there is a button. When finished using the phone for a period of time, just press this button once and voice over will tell you that the phone is now locked. When you wish to reactivate the phone for some business or other, press the home key which is the button on the bottom "Centre" of the phone. Also after I lock my IPhone I also use a "Three finger double tap" to shut off the speech as it can become annoying yakking in your pocket if you hit it from time to time. To reload voice over, first press the home button and then a "Three finger double tap" to get speech back again. Turning off the speech I feel helps prolong battery life in with the bargain. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tony sweeney Sent: 27 March 2011 17:38 To: students list Subject: [vip_students] iPhone: Lock Hi, I have been asked to enquire if there is a gesture/tap for the iPhone to lock it so as one couldn't inadvertently activate anything a bit like the lock command on the Nokia idea?
