organizations. Consult your sy stem admi nis trato r bef ore turni ng 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.

Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You
must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

1.Touch the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.
2.Read the information about encryption carefully.

3.Touch Encrypt phone.
4.Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
5.Touch Encrypt phone again.

Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your

PIN or password.
Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time
you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
