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 perf orm a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

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 en cryption 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 phone.

4. Schedule an hour or mor e for the encryption proce s s: you mu s t not

interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

5. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings >

Security > Encrypt phone.

6. Read the information about encryption carefully.

The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your batte ry's no t 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.

7. Touch Encrypt phone.

8. Enter your lock sc reen PIN or passwor d a nd touch Next.

9. Touch Encrypt phone again. The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can

take an hour or more, during which time your phone may 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.
