Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: youraccounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must draw a pattern or enter a numeric PIN or a 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.

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:

 Set a lock screen pattern, PIN, or password.  Charge the battery.  Keep the phone connected to the charger.  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

phone.

2. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your phone is 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.

Read the information about encryption carefully.

3. Draw the lock screen pattern, or enter your lock screen PIN or

password and touch NEXT.

4. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

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 completed, you're prompted to draw the pattern or enter your PIN or password.

Subsequently you must draw the pattern, enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
