Phone Password
A password can protect your phone and help avoid
illegal use. If your phone is password protected, you will
have to enter the correct password when the phone is
turned on.
For a new phone, the protection function is not
activated by default, and the default password
is 0000.
From idle mode, select Menu > Settings >
Security > Activate security codes > Phone
lock code to start or stop password protection.
From idle mode, select Menu > Settings >
Security > Change security > Phone lock code
to change the phone’s password. It is suggested
that you change the password to something you will
easily remember.
NOTES:
Please remember the password you set. Without it
your phone cannot be used normally and you will
need to contact your service provider to unlock it.
Contact your service provider for more information.
PIN Codes
A PIN code is the personal identification code used
by the SIM card. Its purpose is to help you avoid
illegal use of your SIM card. The correct PIN code
should be entered when the new phone is first turned
on, otherwise the phone will only be able to make
emergency calls.
For a new card, the default code is supplied by the
service provider.
From idle mode, select Menu > Settings >
Security > Activate security codes > PIN code
to enable or disable the PIN code.
From idle mode, select Menu > Settings >
Security > Change security > PIN code to
change the PIN code.
If you enter the wrong PIN code three times in a
row, the phone will lock the SIM card and prompt
you to enter a PUK code to unlock it.
NOTES:
If you change the PIN code, be sure to remember the
new number.
PIN2 is needed for some settings. Use the same
procedure as for the PIN code.
