This is the iFonProtect iPhone application.   iFonProtect acts as a  motion detector and will sound an alarm when the iPhone is moved.   After the ProtectMe button is depressed, the owner has the number of seconds (1-20) set in the delay slider to move the iPhone to its resting place.  The iPhone screen will go dark to save on battery when the delay has expired and the accelerometers are activated (it will look as if it is in sleep mode). 

If tripped the alarm will sound unless the correct disarm code is entered.  The disarm code can be comprised of any number of characters available from the pop up keypad (the default is '???').  Just remember that to disarm the alarm all characters must be typed and the 'Done' button pressed.  The disarm delay slider is used to set the number of seconds (3-20) between the time motion is detected and the alarm sounds to give the owner the chance to cancel the alarm by entering the correct disarm code.  Once the alarm begins to sound it will sound for about 20 seconds.   If the 'Home' button is pushed, the alarm will still sound for at least 5 seconds (the exact time is dictated by the iPhone operating system).

The alarm sounds at the system audio level so adjust the volume using the buttons on the edge of the iPhone prior to pressing the ProtectMe button.  If the Ring/Silent switch is set to Silent the alarm will not be heard.  An incoming call that is unanswered when iFonProtect is active, will not deactivate the application.  An incoming call can be 'declined' while iFonProtect is active, but one must be careful not to move the phone.  If a call is answered iFonProtect will deactivate alarm.  After the call is terminated then the user must press the 'Home' button to exit iFonProtect.

iFonProtect disables the iPhone's idle timeout (AutoLock) feature while it is running.  To save on battery the iPhone should be set to 'Airplane' mode if it is to be protected for a prolonged period of time and brightness set to a minimum, or connect the iPhone to its charger.  Note: if an iPhone running iFonProtect is within a movable object like a purse, then that object is also protected.

With version 1.2.1 of iFonProtect a PowerMiser switch has been added.   If the switch is in the default OFF position then iFonProtect will function the same as in previous versions.  The ON position is meant for use when one expects to protect the iPhone for an extended period of time.  In this mode the iPhone will use less battery power if placed face down on a solid surface.  The PowerMiser mode cannot be used if the iPhone is to be placed within another movable container like a handbag or backpack.
