Encrypting your memory
In order to prevent more technically capable persons gaining access to
your data, in the event that your tablet is lost or stolen you can encrypt your
tablet’s memory, so that even if the password is breached the data will be
unreadable.
Please note encryption will have a modest eect on performance but for
most tasks this will not be noticeable. For memory intensive tasks such as
playing back video files stored in the tablet’s memory it may cause some
buering.
In order to encrypt your tablet you must first set a PIN or password as shown
above.
Before you encrypt, you must charge your tablet to at least 80% battery
capacity, then with your tablet still on charge go to;
• ‘Settings’, select ‘Security’, then ‘Encrypt tablet’. The tablet will then
ask you for your password. Type this, then press ‘Encrypt tablet’. The
encryption can take up to 90 minutes. Do not interrupt the process. Failure
to follow this routine exactly may result in your tablet becoming unusable.
