Online
In order to avoid online threats we recommend that you install
antivirus and security software on your device and keep these and
your browser and other software up to date to take advantage of
security fixes.
Physical theft
If you store valuable information on your phone including passwords
and logins for
personal accounts etc. you may want to enhance the security of
your phone in case it is stolen or lost.
Setting a PIN or password
You can set a pin code (4-8 digit numerical code) or you can
set a password which is 4 to 17 digits. We recommend you set
a password, the longer and more complex it is the harder it is to
break. For the best passwords use a mixture of upper and lower case
letters, numbers and special characters such as %, # and *.
• In ‘Settings’, select ‘Security’, then ‘screen lock’, then select PIN or
Password.

Encrypting your memory
In order to prevent more technically capable persons gaining access
to your data, in the event that your phone is lost or stolen, you
can encrypt your phone’s memory, so that even if the password is
breached the data will be unreadable.
Please note encryption will have a modest effect on performance
but for most tasks this will not be noticeable. For memory intensive
tasks such as playing back video files stored in the phone’s memory
it may cause some buffering.
In order to encrypt your phone you must first set a PIN or password
as shown above.
Before you encrypt, you must charge your phone to at least 80%
battery capacity, then with your phone still on charge go to;
• ‘Settings’, select ‘Security’, then ‘Encrypt phone’. The phone will
then ask you for your password. Type this, then press ‘Encrypt
phone’. The encryption can take up to 90 minutes. Do not interrupt
the process. Failure to follow this routine exactly may result in your
phone becoming unusable.
• Please note that your phone cannot be decrypted by the same
process. To decrypt you must return the phone to factory settings

which will erase all of your files and downloaded apps (securely).
• To reset to factory defaults go to ‘Settings’, select ‘Backup and
Reset’ then ‘Factory data reset’.
Erasing your personal data
If you sell your phone on, or discard it you should erase the data in
memory, before you do so, using a file eraser program that actively
writes to every record in the memory. This securely erases your data
so that it cannot be recovered. Please note that simply returning
your phone to factory settings is not a reliable way of erasing your
personal data (unless you have first encrypted your data).
• To download a file eraser go to Google Play store, select a file
eraser program such as Remo File Eraser – download and install.
• Open the app and follow instructions to securely erase your data.
Further Advice
For further advice on how to stay safe there are government lead
initiatives such as Get Safe Online https://www.getsafeonline.org/
which give good advice about a how to avoid a range of security
threats.
