User's Manual

 If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set a

numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your

screen.

NOTE:

Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the

strength of their security, starting with None and Long press,

which provide no security. A pattern provides minimal security,

although it can be more convenient than the stronger options.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,

application data, music and other media, downloaded information,

and so on. If you do, you must 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 PIN or password you set for encryption is

controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

 Set a lock screen PIN or password.

 Charge the battery.
