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 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
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:

 Set a lock screen PIN or password.

29

 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. Read the information about encryption carefully.
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. Encryption 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.
