Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
and so on. If you do, you must draw an unlock pattern, 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 pattern, PIN or password you set for
encryption is controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
Set a screen lock 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 >
phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
