Hello,
concerning the "Lock Phone" Option the manual says:
"This will increase battery usage, but also significantly increases your phone’s protection."
About what increase do we talk about approximately and why does the battery usage increase?
What is happening behind the scenes? Is something being polled regularly when enabling this option?
Or does it only drain the battery when active/triggered due to sim card change (which is obvious when a permanent siren sound etc. is played ;D)?
I want my phone to be as secure as possible, but if that means that battery usage is cut too extreme then I'll think twice before enabling that option.

it means that if the phone is locked, this will drain battery (as the screen is always on).
