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.

Note:

save the security settings.
