to show when the phone is locked, and then touch DONE.
NOTE:
Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the strength of their security, starting
with None and Swipe, 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: your application data, music and other media,
downloaded information, and more. If you do, you must draw an unlock pattern, or 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 pattern, PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system
administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
 Set a screen lock pattern, PIN or password.
 Charge the battery.
 Keep the phone connected to the charger.
 Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not interrupt it or you will
lose some or all of your data.
