Protecting Your Device With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your device: 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 device.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to 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.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch the Home Key > > Settings > Security > 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.

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.
