Once memory card encryption starts, some functions are not available.
•
If the device is turned off while encryption is underway, the encryption process
•
will fail, and some data may be damaged. Therefore, be sure to check if the battery
level is sufficient before starting encryption.
Encrypted files are accessible only from the device where the files were
•
encrypted.
The encrypted memory card cannot be used on another device. To use the
•
encrypted memory card on another mobile device, format the card.
You can activate memory card encryption even when no memory card is installed
•
into the device. Any memory card that is installed after encryption will
automatically be encrypted.
