word to unlock it.

IMPORTANT: Screen lock options are listed in the approximate
order of the strength of their security, starting with None and

Long press, which provide no security. Pattern provides minimal

security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger
options.

24

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. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or pass-

word 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 organiza­tions. 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:

1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.

2. Charge the battery.

3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.

4. 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 > Menu Key > System settings > Se-

curity > Encrypt phone.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.

25

The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery's not

charged or your phone's not plugged in.

If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch

the Back Key.

WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will

lose data.

3. Touch Encrypt phone.

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

5. Touch Encrypt phone again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryp-

tion can take an hour or more, during which time your phone

may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you're 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.
