12 Manage phone security
Your phone is equipped with a versatile security system that is intended
to prevent unauthorized use of the phone.
You cannot activate or use certain phone features without having first
successfully entered your phone’s security code.
• The default (preset) security code is 12345.
• Nokia highly recommends that you immediately change this code.
Then, write down and store the new code in a safe place, away from
your phone.
Tips:
• When you enter the security code, an

appears on the screen each
time you press a key. The
*
prevents others from seeing your code.
• If you enter the wrong security code five times in a row, your
phone will not accept any entries for the next five minutes.
However, if you realize that you have entered the code incorrectly
before pressing
OK
, you can use
Clear
to delete the code, digit
by digit, beginning with the last digit.
Your phone is equipped with different security features that help you:
• Avoid making accidental calls
• Prevent unauthorized use of your phone
• Restrict outgoing or incoming calls
• Avoid erasing your phone book directory
• LOCK THE KEYPAD (KEYGUARD)
The keypad lock (Keyguard) disables your keypad to prevent accidental key
presses (for example, when your phone is in a purse).
