Security Settings

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 tablet during encryption.
Interrupting the encryption process may result in the loss of some or all data.

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 allow access to your tablet by
device administrators in certain circumstances, such as if your tablet is lost or stolen.
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.
