Encryption provides additional protection in case your pho ne 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
the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
Set a lock screen pattern, PIN, or password.
Charge the battery.
Keep the phone connected to the charger.
Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You must
not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Touch the Home key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.
2. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your batter y is not
charged or your phone is not plugged in.

WARNING!
If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

password and touch NEXT.
4. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encr yption
can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart
several times.
When encryption is completed, you're prompted to draw the pattern
or enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently you must draw the pattern, enter your PIN or
password each time you power on your phone in order to dec rypt it.
