+ <p>If you are seeing this warning when setting up your device after GrapheneOS
+ has been installed, it means that not all of the installation steps have been
+ completed. This can be remediated by finishing the installation process and
+ locking the device's bootloader.</p>
+
+ <p>To do this, follow these steps:</p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>Navigate to the bootloader locking section of the <a href="https://grapheneos.org/install/web">web install
+ (recommended)</a> or <a href="https://grapheneos.org/install/cli">CLI install</a>
+ guide on the device you'll be using to lock the bootloader.</li>
+ <li>If you are at the welcome screen on your GrapheneOS device, tap "Next".</li>
+ <li>On the resulting screen, tap "Reboot to bootloader".</li>
+ <li>Connect your GrapheneOS device to the device where you have the install page open.</li>
+ <li>Follow the steps on the install page to lock the bootloader.</li>
+ <li>Once locked, you can start setting up your GrapheneOS device, and the warning should no longer be present.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <p>It is important to note that this is something that should be done before
+ placing any data onto the device, as until this step is completed, the device is
+ considered to be insecure. Please note that locking the bootloader wipes all
+ user data on the device. GrapheneOS doesn't provide any support to users running
+ GrapheneOS with an unlocked bootloader, as this is considered to be an
+ incomplete installation.</p>
