Preserving Data for Examination
  • Prevent additional receipt/transmission of data:
    • If device is off, leave it off
    • If device is on write down all data that is visible on the screen that is showing - do NOT press anything or look further than the display
    • Note the date, time and location that you took possession of the device 
  • Seek to block additional receipt or transmission of data
    • "Flight Mode" or "Airplane Mode"
    • Enclose in signal blocking bag or box if available
    • Turning the phone off will prevent data changes, but may trigger lock/protected mode - if no protection is available, you must choose between potential loss of data through overwrite vs. possibly being unable to access any data at all - contact a professional for advice
  • If possible, keep device charged
  • Do NOT examine call history, address book, or any other data yourself
  • Do NOT activate applications
  • Turn the device over to a qualified examiner as soon as possible
