Security Settings
Configure options for securing information on your phone.
Encryption
As a security measure, you can encrypt the contents of your
phone or an installed memory card, and require a password
each time you turn on the phone or access the memory card.
Encryption may take an hour or more to complete. Start with
a charged battery, and attach the charger until encryption is
complete. Loss of power or other interruption may cause the
loss of some or all data.
Once your information is encrypted you will be prompted to
enter your decryption password each time you turn your
phone on.

2. Under Permissions, tap Security.
3. Under Security, and then touch an option:
• Encrypt device: Touch Set screen lock type to start, and then
follow the prompts to encrypt information.
• Encrypt external SD card: Touch Set screen lock type to
start, and then follow the prompts to encrypt information.

circumstances, such as if your phone is lost or stolen.
Some features a device administrator might control include:
• Setting the number of failed password attempts before the phone
is restored to factory settings.
• Automatically locking the phone.
• Restoring factory settings on the phone.
