may be a few seconds delay while the handset
powers down.
Do not re-power the handset during this time.
Access codes
You can use the access codes described in this
section to avoid unauthorized use of your phone.
The access codes (except PUK and PUK2 codes) can
be changed by using the Change codes feature
[Menu 7.7.5].
PIN code (4 to 8 digits)
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code
protects your SIM card against unauthorized use.
The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card.
When the PIN Code Request is set to Enable, your
phone will request the PIN code every time it is
switched on. When the PIN Code Request is set to
Disable, your phone connects to the network directly
without the PIN code.
PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits)
The PIN2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is
required to access functions such as Fixed Dial
Number. These functions are only available if
supported by your SIM card.
PUK code (4 to 8 digits)
The PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) code is required to
unlock a blocked PIN code. The PUK code may be
supplied with the SIM card. If not, contact your
network operator’s customer service for the code. If
you lose the code, contact your network operator’s
customer service.
