Encryption

You can encrypt accounts, settings, downloaded apps and their data, media, and other files. After
encryption, you must enter the PIN or password you set each time you turn on your phone. You can
also encrypt information stored on an optional installed memory card (not included).
Encryption may take an hour or more to complete. Start with a charged battery, and keep the device
on the charger until encryption is complete. Interrupting the encryption process may result in the loss
of some or all data.
