About content protection and
compression
Content protection encrypts your handheld data.
When your handheld is password locked, an open
lock in the handheld status section of the screen
indicates that encryption is in progress. A closed
lock indicates that encryption is complete. After
you type your handheld password, data on your
handheld is decrypted as you access it.
To use content protection, you must have a
handheld password enabled.
Content compression reduces the size of the data
stored on your handheld while maintaining the
integrity of that data.
Protect your handheld content

In the handheld options, click Security.
2.
Set the Content Protection field to Enabled.

Click the trackwheel.

5.
Type your handheld password.

Click the trackwheel.
Note:
If you have not enabled your handheld password
before you enable content protection, you are
prompted to set a handheld password when you
save the security settings.
