Encryption
After encryption, you must enter the PIN or password you set each time you turn on your
device. You can also encrypt information stored on an optional installed memory card (not
included).
Encryption may take an hour or more to complete. Do not turn off the device during encryption.
Interrupting the encryption process may result in the loss of some or all data.
Before Encrypting Your Device
Important! Charge the battery to at least 80%, and plug the device into the charger to ensure
that the battery remains charged.
Note: Set a Screen lock password of at least 6 characters, including at least one number.

Device Administration
Some applications, such as Corporate email, may require you to allow access to your device by

These applications enforce remote or local device security policies. Some of the features a
device administration application might control are:
● Setting the number of failed password attempts before the device is restored to factory
settings.
● Automatically locking the device.
● Restoring factory settings on the device.
