or later.
5d Click Apply.
6 Click the Self-Destruct tab.
The Self-Destruct page lets you configure self-destruct settings for Windows CE devices so that
data is not accessible from handheld devices that are lost or stolen. When the self-destruct
feature is activated, the data on the device is made unusable and the device must be manually
reset, which restores the device to its out-of-the-box state.
To use the self-destruct options for Windows CE devices, you must select the Enable Enhanced
Password Support check box on the Security page. You cannot use the self-destruct options on
handheld PCs because the Enable Enhanced Password Support option does not function on
them.
IMPORTANT: Use caution when you use the self-destruct feature. Be sure to allow an
adequate number of password attempts and an adequate number of days since the last
connection or synchronization to prevent data loss to users who incorrectly enter the password
or do not connect or synchronize the device during a short vacation.
For Windows CE devices, ActiveSync does not automatically back up data. If the user has
manually backed up the data, he or she can then manually restore the data to the device.
7 Configure the following Self-Destruct settings:
Bad Password Attempts: Select the Enforce Self-Destruct check box and specify the number
of bad password attempts to allow before activating the self-destruct feature.
