Encrypting files on your storage card

You can set your phone to encrypt files as they are saved on the storage card.

1.Tap Start > Settings > All Settings > System > Encryption.

2.Select Encrypt files when placed on a storage card.

Notes • Encrypted files can only be read on the phone that encrypted them.

•Encrypted files are opened just like other files, provided you are using the phone that encrypted them. There is no separate step for you to take to read these files.

Important If Encrypt files when placed on a storage card is enabled, back up all files from the storage card before using Clear Storage, hard reset, or updating the operating system. Otherwise, you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card.
