You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google accounts,

and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a
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 recom mended in some
organizations. C onsult your sy stem administrator b efore 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.

● Charge the battery.

● Keep the phone connected to the ch arger.

● Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you

35

must not interru pt it or y ou will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch

> > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone .

2. Read the inform ation about encryption carefully .
The Encrypt phone but ton is dimm ed if y our bat tery is not

charged or your phone's not plugged in.

3. Touch Encrypt phone.

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

5. Touch Encrypt phone again.

The encryption proce ss starts . En cry ption can ta ke 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 mus t enter your PIN or pa ssword each t im e
you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
