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 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 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.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Touch Home Key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.
27
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery is not
charged or your phone is not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
.
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.
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 in order to decrypt it.
