Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an
unencrypted device is to perform a factory data reset, which will
erase all your data.
You must not interrupt the encryption process or you will lose
some or all of your data. (See “Privacy settings” on page 67 and
“If Something Goes Wrong” on page 93).
1 Before starting the encryption process on your tablet, you
must:
Set a lock screen PIN or password (see “Securing your
tablet” on page 43).
Charge your tablet’s battery.
Plug your tablet to the USB/AC adaptor.
Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process.
2 Touch the Settings () icon, Location & security ( ) icon,
and then Encrypt tablet.
Read the information on the Encrypt Tablet screen carefully.
If you change your mind touch the Back ( ) button to exit
the encryption process.
3 Touch the Encrypt tablet button.
4 Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Continue.
5 Touch the Encrypt tablet button again, to confirm you want to
continue.
The encryption process begins and displays the progress.
Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your tablet
may restart several times.
When encryption is complete, you are prompted to enter your PIN
or password. Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password
each time you power on your tablet, to decrypt it.
Customizing your Home screens
You can add Apps icons, Widgets, Bookmark shortcuts, and other
items to any available free space on any Home screen. You can also
