Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded
information, and so on. 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
organisations. 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.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Touch the Home key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not
charged or your phone's not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
the Back key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will
lose data.
3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.
4. Draw your screen lock pattern or enter your PIN or password,
5. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE again.
The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or
more, during which time your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you're prompted to draw the
unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently you must draw your unlock pattern, or enter your
PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to
decrypt it.
