Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a
password each time you power on your phone.
WARNING!
Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an
unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset which
erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is
stolen and may be required or recommended in some
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
Set a lock screen PIN or password.
Charge the battery.
Keep the phone connected to the charger.
Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You
must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1.Touch the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.
2.Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery is not
24
charged or your phone is not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
the Back Key.
WARNING!
If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3.Touch Encrypt phone.
4.Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
5.Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress.
Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your
phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your
PIN or password.
Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time
you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it
performs abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your
particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in
the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Poor
reception
The network signal is too
weak at your current
location, for example, in
a basement or near a
tall building, because
wireless transmissions
can not effectively reach
it.
Move to a location
where the network
signal can be properly
received.
The network is busy at
the current time (for
example, during peak
times, there may be too
much network traffic to
handle additional calls).
Avoid using the phone at
such times, or try again
after waiting a short
time.
You are too far away
from a base station for
your service provider.
You can request a
service area map from
your service provider.
89
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Echo or
noise
Poor network link quality
on the part of your
service provider.
End the call and dial
again. You may be
switched to a
better-quality network
link or phone line.
Poor local telephone line
quality.
End the call and dial
again. You may be
switched to a
better-quality network
link or phone line.
Unable to
select
certain
features
Your service provider
does not support these
features, or you have not
applied for services that
provide these features.
Contact your service
provider.
Battery not

temperature.
90
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Poor contact between
the battery and charger.
Check all connectors to
ensure that all
connections have been
properly made.
Shortened
standby time
The standby time is
related to your service

providers’ systems will
not provide exactly the
same length of standby
time.
If you are located in an
area where signaling is
weak, temporarily power
off the phone.
If you are not able to
connect to the network,
the phone will continue
to send out signals as it
attempts to locate a
base station. Doing so
consumes battery power
and will consequently
shorten standby time.
Change your location to
one where the network
is accessible, or
temporarily turn off your
phone.
91
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
Cannot turn
your phone
on
Battery power has been
depleted.
