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.

Ⅲ From the Security and lock screen, under Encryption,

touch the following options to encrypt your information:

• Encrypt device: Touch this option to encrypt accounts,

settings, downloaded applications and data, media files, and

more under a password you specify.

• Encrypt SD card: Touch this option to encrypt selected

information stored on a microSD memory card under a

password you specify. The following additional Encryption

settings are available:

Encrypt SD card: When enabled, new files on the memory

card will be encrypted as they are added.

Full encryption: When enabled, all files on the memory card

will be encrypted.

Exclude multimedia files: When enabled, multimedia files on

the memory card will not be encrypted.

Passwords

When enabled, password characters display briefly as you
enter them.

Ⅲ From the Security and lock screen, under Passwords,

touch the following option to enable/disable it: (When

the option is enabled, a check mark displays in the

Device administration

View or disable device administrators. Some applications,
such as corporate Email, may require you allow access to
your device by device administrators in certain
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.
