Protecting Your Phone With Encryption - Zte v9800 User Manual

1. Touch
2. Touch Screen lock.
3. Touch Pattern, PIN or Password.
If you touch Pattern, you're guided to create a pattern you must draw
u
to unlock the screen. The first time you do this, a short tutorial about
creating an unlock pattern appears. Then you're prompted to draw and
redraw your own pattern.
If you touch PIN or Password, you're prompted to set a numeric PIN
u
or a password you must enter to unlock your screen.
The next time you turn on your phone or wake up the screen, you must draw
your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password to unlock it.
IMPORTANT: Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the
strength of their security, starting with None and Long press, which provide
no security. Pattern provides minimal security, although it can be more conve-
nient than the stronger options.

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 unencrypt-
ed 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 sys-
tem 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. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
4. Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not inter-
rupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
