• New data encryption : Encrypt only data that is saved on the
SD card after encryption.
• Full encryption : Encrypt all the data currently saved on the SD
card.
• Exclude media files : Encrypt all files, except for media files
such as music, photos and videos.
• To encrypt the SD card, make sure that a screen lock is set using a
PIN or password.
• Once memory card encryption starts, some functions are not
available.
• If the device is turned off while encryption is underway, the
encryption process will fail, and some data may be damaged.
Therefore, be sure to check whether the battery level is sufficient
before starting encryption.
• Encrypted files are accessible only from the device where the files
were encrypted.
• The encrypted SD card cannot be used on another LG device. To use
the encrypted memory card on another mobile device, initialise the
card.
• You can activate SD card encryption even when no SD card
is installed into the device. Any SD card that is installed after
encryption will automatically be encrypted.
