Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google accounts, application data, music

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.
• 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.
PersonalizingPersonalizing
When you’re ready to turn on encryption:
1. Press the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.

is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, press the
Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.
4.
Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap NEXT.
5. Tap 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’ll be 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.
