Precautions for device encryption
You can use the mobile phone lock on the lock screen to increase your
device's protection level.
Ţ If the mobile phone lock is turned on and an incorrect password
is entered more than a specified number of times, the device will
automatically initialise.
Ţ If you forget your decryption password, you must initialise the device to
use it again. Initialisation will delete all data saved before initialisation.
Ţ Encryption takes place when the device boots for the first time after a
factory reset. Stopping encryption before it is complete may damage
data.
Memory card encryption
You can encrypt and protect data saved on the memory card. The
encrypted data in the memory card cannot be accessed from another
device.
