and keys.


front camera. You also need to set a pattern or PIN in case the phone cannot recognize your face.
If you touch Pattern, you're guided to create a pattern you must draw 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 or a password you must enter

to unlock your screen.
Caution:
If you forget the pattern you set, try five times and touch Forgot pattern? to sign in to the Google

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 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 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 > Menu Key > System settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
