### Proximity Lock

* The workstation will **lock automatically** when:
  * You move out of Bluetooth range, or
  * You switch off Bluetooth on your phone.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The lock distance may vary depending on the environment, your phone’s Bluetooth hardware, and the workstation’s Bluetooth adapter.
