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, or 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:
Touch the Home key >
