Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
and so on. After encryption is applied you need to enter a
numeric PIN or password each time you power on your phone.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to

an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which
erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is
stolen, and may be required or recommended in some
organisations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by your system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.

2. Connect your phone to the charger.

3. The encryption process may take up to one hour. If you

interrupt the process you may lose data or your phone can
end up in an unusable state.

When you're ready to proceed:

4. Touch Home > Apps > Settings > Securi ty > Encrypt

phone.

5. Read the instructions encryption carefully.

20

The Encrypt phone button is not available if the battery is not

sufficiently charged or your phone is not plugged in.

If you are unsure about proceeding then touch the Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose

data.

6. Touch Encrypt phone.

7. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.

8. Touch Encrypt phone again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress.
Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your
phone may restart several times.

When encryption is complete, you are prompted to enter your
PIN or password.

Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time
you power on your phone, to decrypt it.
