Encryption
As a security measure, you can encrypt the contents of your
phone or an installed memory card, and require a password
each time you turn on the phone or access the memory card.
Encryption may take an hour or more to complete. Start with
a charged battery, and attach the charger until encryption is
complete. Loss of power or other interruption may cause the
loss of some or all data.
