Locks
The phone has four security locks that you can set from
the control panel by selecting
Tools > Control panel >
Security > Locks
.
Phone lock
This is a lock code that you can use to protect your phone
from unauthorized use. When you start the phone for the
first time, the lock code is 0000, but you can change it to
any four-to-eight digit code in the
Locks menu. Your
Phone lock setting options are:
•
At power on – you will be requested to enter the
code every time you turn the phone on.
•
Off – the lock is turned off; no code will be
requested.
•
When SIM changed – the code will only be
requested if the SIM card has been changed.
SIM card lock
Your PIN (Personal Identification Number) code
consists of four to eight digits and is used to protect your
SIM card against unauthorized use. It is needed for the
access of the SIM card. You get it from your operator
with the SIM card, but you can change it in the
Locks
menu. Your
SIM card lock setting options are:
•
At power on – you will be requested to enter your
PIN code every time you turn the phone on.
•
Off – the lock is turned off; no code will be
requested.
An error message informs you if an incorrect PIN code
has been entered. Usually, the SIM card will be blocked
after three incorrect attempts (the number of attempts is
operator-dependent). To unblock the SIM card you must
use your PUK code.
The PUK code consists of eight digits. When you have
entered the right PUK code you must enter a new PIN
code. You have ten attempts to enter the PUK code. If all
ten attempts fail, the SIM card will be unusable and you
need to contact your operator. You cannot change the
PUK code.
The PIN2 code
Some special SIM card services, such as Call meter and
Fixed Numbers, can be protected by a secondary code
feature, the PIN2 code. The code properties are:
•
PIN2 cannot be disabled, but the four-to-eight digit
code can be changed in the Locks menu.
•
PIN2 will be blocked after three incorrect attempts.
To unblock the code, a PUK2 code must be entered.
