Protecting the Phone with Encryption

You can encrypt all data on the phone including Google accounts, app data, music and other media, and downloaded information. If you do, you must 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 if your phone is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. Frequently the system administrator controls the PIN or password for encryption.

Before turning on encryption:

● Set a lock screen 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. Doing so may result in loss of some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch the Home button > > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.

Page 29

2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The Encrypt phone option is dimmed when the battery is not

charged or not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting the phone, touch

the Back button.

WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you

will lose data.

3. Touch Encrypt phone.

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

5. Touch Encrypt phone again.

The encryption process starts and may take an hour or more. The phone may restart several times.

When encryption completes, it prompts for PIN or password. You must enter your PIN or password each time you power on

your phone to decrypt it.
