NEXUS 7 GUIDEBOOK SECURE YOUR TABLET 75

Encrypt your tablet

You can encrypt all the data on your tablet: Google Accounts, app

data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on.

If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time

you turn on your tablet. Note that this is the same PIN or pass-

word that you use to unlock your tablet without encryption, and

cannot be set independently.

WARNING: Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert

to an unencrypted tablet is to perform a factory data reset,

which erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your tablet is

stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organiza-

tions. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In

many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is con-

trolled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.

2. Charge the battery.

3. Plug in your tablet.

4. 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 Settings > Personal > Security > Encryption > Encrypt

tablet.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
