Security Settings

Configure options for securing information on your phone.

Device Administration

Some applications, such as Corporate email, may require you allow access to your phone by device
administrators in certain circumstances, such as if your phone is lost or stolen.
Some features a device administrator might control include:
● Setting the number of failed password attempts before the phone is restored to factory settings.
● Automatically locking the phone.
● Restoring factory settings on the phone.

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 phone on
the charger until encryption is complete. Interrupting the encryption process may result in the loss of
some or all data.

Tip: To perform encryption, your battery must be charged to at least 80%. It is best to plug your phone in
