Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the tablet 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.

button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your tablet is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your tablet, tap .
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Tap Encrypt tablet.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap Continue.
5. Tap Encrypt tablet again. The encryption process will start and display its progress. Encryption can take
an hour or more, during which time your tablet may restart several times. When encryption is completed, you will be prompted to enter your PIN or
password. Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on
your tablet to decrypt it.
