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.
24
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:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
4. 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 > Menu Key > System 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
25
restart several times.
When encryption is complete, 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.
