步骤 1(Step 1)。在您的Android 设备(Android device)上安装Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016
本指南中共享的步骤基于您已经在Android 智能手机或平板电脑(Android smartphone or tablet)上安装了Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016的假设。

步骤 2(Step 2)。确保您的Android 设备(Android device)具有有效的互联网连接(Internet connection)
为了能够定位您的Android 智能手机或平板电脑(Android smartphone or tablet)，Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016必须能够将其位置传达给您。这意味着您的设备应该具有已启动并正在运行的Internet 连接(Internet connection)。确保这一点的最佳方法是让您在智能手机或平板电脑(smartphone or tablet)上同时启用蜂窝数据连接和无线网络连接(wireless network connection)。
步骤 3(Step 3)。打开Android 设备(Android device)上的定位服务(Location service)
现在您的Android 设备(Android device)始终连接到互联网(Internet)。这是一件好事，因为这意味着它可以在您要求时发送其位置。但是，为了能够告诉您在哪里可以找到它，您的智能手机或平板电脑(smartphone or tablet)也应该知道它在哪里。而让它知道这一点的唯一准确方法，就是让它能够使用GPS 芯片(GPS chip)。这就是为什么能够对您的Android 智能手机或平板电脑(Android smartphone or tablet)进行地理定位的一个重要步骤是在您的设备上启用定位服务。(Location)
第 4 步(Step 4)。在Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016(Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016)中启用防盗
下一步也是必不可少的：您现在将告诉Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016您希望它监控您设备的位置。如果您不启用此服务，当您丢失设备时， Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016将无法向您发送设备的位置。
在您的Android 智能手机或平板电脑(Android smartphone or tablet)上，启动Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016。然后，通过点击左上角(left corner)的“三行”按钮打开其菜单。
点击防盗(Anti-Theft)选项以打开同名的保护模块。(protection module)
如果您以前从未在 Android 设备上使用过防盗， (Anti-Theft)Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016会要求您打开它。
这是一个三步过程，第一步是“授予管理员权限”("Grant Admin Privileges")。
Android会询问您是否真的要以设备管理员(device administrator)身份启用Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016。这将授予安全套件在您的(security suite)Android 设备(Android device)上执行管理任务的权限，并且防盗(Anti-Theft)模块必须正常工作。点击激活(Activate)按钮。
为了启用防盗(Anti-Theft)，您必须采取的第二步是设置PIN 码(PIN code)。输入您会记住的代码。请注意，您可以使用 4 到 8 位数字。完成后，点击Set PIN。
配置防盗(Anti-Theft)模块的第三步也是最后一步是设置受信任的电话号码。此电话号码(phone number)将是唯一可以向您的Android 设备发送(Android device)擦除(Wipe)命令的电话号码，以防万一它被盗并且您失去了恢复它的希望。要设置受信任的电话号码(phone number)，请输入该号码并点击保存号码(Save number)。如果您现在不想配置受信任的号码，也可以跳过此步骤。为此，请点击稍后(Later)。
步骤 5(Step 5)。启用远程定位(Locate)、远程锁定和远程擦除(Remote Lock and Remote Wipe)
防盗(Anti-Theft)模块现在处于工作状态，默认情况下应启用远程定位功能。(Remote Locate)如果万一不是，请确保将其打开，因为这是Bitdefender 功能(Bitdefender feature)，可让您对Android 设备(Android device)进行地理定位，以防您丢失或被盗。
我们还建议您打开远程锁定(Remote Lock)和远程擦除(Remote Wipe)。如果您失去恢复的希望，这两个防盗(Anti-Theft)功能将允许您阻止或擦除您的Android 设备。(Android device)如果您的智能手机上有个人数据并且您不希望它落入坏人之手，那么它们是非常划算的。
步骤 6(Step 6)。测试您是否可以找到您的Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)
现在一切都设置好了，这样您就可以找到丢失或被盗的Android 设备(Android device)。Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016跟踪您设备的GPS 位置(GPS position)，如果您想知道它在哪里，它可以响应您。
如果您想测试并确认一切正常，最快的方法是从Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016的防盗(Anti-Theft)模块中访问Web 控制(Web control)选项卡。在这里，点击远程定位选项，您将在(Remote Locate)Google 地图(Google map)上看到您的Android 设备(Android device)位置的预览。
在采取了我们迄今为止详细介绍的所有步骤后，如果您丢失或被盗，您将能够找到您的Android 设备。(Android device)Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016允许您通过两种方式做到这一点：使用您的Bitdefender Central 帐户仪表板(account dashboard)，或使用SMS 命令(SMS command)。通过阅读本指南，您可以了解有关智能手机丢失或被盗时您可以做什么的更多信息：当您的Android 设备被盗时， (Android device)Bitdefender Mobile Security可以为您做的6 件事。

6 Steps to make sure that you can always locate your Android device
Did yoυ ever losе your Android smartphone? Or yoυr Android tablet? Wouldn't you have liked tо have an eаsy way to find your device and pinpoint its location? Luckily, if you install Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 on your Android device, this security product will always have you covered if that happens to you. In today's guide, we will share 6 steps you should take, to make sure that you always have a good chance of finding your lost Android device. There's plenty of ground to cover, so let's get started:
Step 1. Install Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 on your Android device
The steps shared in this guide are based on the assumption that you already have Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 installed on your Android smartphone or tablet.
If you don't have it, you can get it from here. Also, if you'd like to see what this complete mobile security solution has to offer, read this review: Security for everyone - Reviewing Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016.
Step 2. Make sure that your Android device has a working Internet connection
In order to be able to locate your Android smartphone or tablet, Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 must have a way to communicate its location to you. That means that your device should have an Internet connection that is up and running. The best way to make sure of that, is for you to enable both the cellular data connection and the wireless network connection on your smartphone or tablet.
Step 3. Turn on the Location service on your Android device
Now your Android device is always connected to the Internet. That's a good thing, because it means that it can send its location whenever you ask it to. However, in order to be able to tell you where you can find it, your smartphone or tablet should also know where it is. And the only accurate way for it to know that, is for it to be able to use the GPS chip. That's why an essential step in being able to geolocate your Android smartphone or tablet is to leave the Location service enabled on your device.
Step 4. Enable Anti-Theft in Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016
This next step is also essential: you will now tell Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 that you want it to monitor your device's location. If you don't enable this service, Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 will not be able to send you the device's location, when you lose it.
On your Android smartphone or tablet, launch Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016. Then, open its menu by tapping on the "three lines" button from the top left corner.
Tap the Anti-Theft option to open the protection module with the same name.
If you never used Anti-Theft before on your Android device, Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 will ask you to turn it on.
This is a three steps process and the first step is to "Grant Admin Privileges".
Android asks if you really want to enable Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 as a device administrator. This will give rights to the security suite to perform administrative tasks on your Android device and it is mandatory for the Anti-Theft module to work as it should. Tap the Activate button.
The second step you'll have to take in order to enable Anti-Theft is to set a PIN code. Enter a code that you will remember. Note that you can use between 4 and 8 digits. When you're done, tap on Set PIN.
The third and last step in configuring the Anti-Theft module is to set a trusted phone number . This phone number will be the only one that can send a Wipe command to your Android device, in case it gets stolen and you lose any hope of recovering it. To set a trusted phone number, enter it and tap on Save number. You can also skip this step if you don't want to configure a trusted number right now. To do that, tap on Later.
Step 5. Enable Remote Locate, Remote Lock and Remote Wipe
The Anti-Theft module is now in working condition and, by default, the Remote Locate feature should be enabled. If, by any chance, it's not, make sure that you turn it on, because this is the Bitdefender feature that will allow you to geolocate your Android device in case you lose it or it's stolen.
We also recommend that you turn on Remote Lock and Remote Wipe. These two Anti-Theft features will allow you to block or erase your Android device if you lose hope of recovering it. They're quite a good deal if you have personal data on your smartphone and you don't want it to get into wrong hands.
Step 6. Test that you can locate your Android smartphone
Everything is set now, so that you can locate your lost or stolen Android device. Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 tracks your device's GPS position and it can respond to you in case you want to know where it is.
If you want to test and confirm that everything works well, the fastest way to do it is for you to access the Web control tab from the Anti-Theft module in Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016. Here, tap on the Remote Locate option and you will see a preview with your Android device's location on a Google map.
After taking all the steps we detailed until now, you will be able to find your Android device if you lose it or if it gets stolen. Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 lets you do that in two ways: by using your Bitdefender Central account dashboard, or by using an SMS command. You can learn more about what you can do when your smartphone is lost or stolen, by reading this guide: 6 Things Bitdefender Mobile Security can do for your when your Android device is stolen.
Conclusion
If you install Bitdefender Mobile Security 2016 on your Android smartphone or tablet, and you follow the few simple steps necessary for configuring its Anti-Theft module, you can then find your lost or stolen Android device whenever, wherever. Did you take into consideration the eventuality of losing your Android device? Or the possibility of it being stolen? We believe it's worthwhile losing a few minutes to configure Bitdefender Anti-Theft module instead of losing our Android devices forever.
