Lock your SIM card
A PIN code helps to protect your SIM card against unauthorised use. You can set your phone to
ask for the PIN code when you switch it on. If the PIN code is not supplied with your SIM card or
you have forgotten the code, contact your service provider.
Encrypt your data
You can protect and encrypt your phone data, such as Google Accounts, application data, music
and other media, and downloaded information. If you encrypt your data, you must enter a
numeric PIN or password each time you switch your phone on. If you have already set up a
screen lock, you must use the same PIN or password. You cannot have two PINs or passwords.
Before enabling encryption:
To enable encryption, on the home screen, tap
> Settings > PERSONAL > Security >
ENCRYPTION > Encrypt phone. The encryption may take an hour or more.
2. Tap to choose a screen lock option:
None - No screen lock. This option provides no protection.
Slide - Swipe to unlock the phone. This option provides minimal protection.
Face Unlock - Use facial recognition to unlock the phone. This option is less secure than a
pattern, PIN, or password, and is not available for the always-on display.
Pattern - Draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the phone.
PIN - Use a PIN code to unlock the phone. The PIN code must contain four or more
numbers.
Password - Use a password to unlock the phone. The password must contain four or
more letters or numbers.
When you set a password to lock your screen, keep the password in a safe place
separate from your YotaPhone. If you forget your password and cannot unlock your
YotaPhone because you have entered a wrong password too many times, you may
need to get your YotaPhone serviced and possibly pay additional charges to unlock
your YotaPhone. All the personal data in your YotaPhone may be deleted.
1. On the home screen, tap
> Settings > PERSONAL > Security > SIM CARD LOCK > Set
up SIM card lock.
2. Tick Lock SIM card and enter the PIN code.
If you enter the PIN code incorrectly three times in succession, you must unblock the
code with the PUK or PUK2 code. If you do not have them, contact your service
provider.
Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to
perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge your phone fully.
Do not interrupt the encryption process or you may lose some or all of your data.
