Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media,
downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must 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 PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
•Set a lock screen 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 > Menu Key > System settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.

ZTE N9511 User Manual
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 15
3. Touch Encrypt phone.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your phone is not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch the Back Key.
Warning:
Data may be lost if the encryption process is interrupted.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
5. Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during
which time your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to
decrypt it.
