an unencrypted device is to perform a factory data reset, which
erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your device 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. Plug in your device.

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.

Encrypt tablet.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt tablet button is dimmed if your battery's not

charged or your device's not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your device, touch

the Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will

lose data.

3. Touch Encrypt tablet.

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

5. Touch Encrypt tablet again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress.

23

Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your
device 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 device, to decrypt it.
