Chapter 10 - System 10-3
Unlocking the communicator
After the communicator has been locked, it can-
not be used until the correct lock code is given.
Incoming voice calls can, however, be answered
via the phone interface.
Note: When the communicator is locked, it may
be possible to make a call via the phone
interface to the emergency number pro-
grammed into your phone (e.g., 911 or
other official emergency number).
Press Settings in the Security main view to see
the security settings list (Figure 10-2):
The value of the current setting is shown next to
the item (except that the codes are shown as
asterisks, *). These items can be adjusted by
pressing Change (see the following sections).
Pressing Close will close the security settings
view and return to the Security main view.
To change the security settings:
• Select the setting and press Change.
‚ If you are prompted for a code, enter it and
press OK.
ƒ Choose a new value.
If you are changing a code, you will be prompted
for the current code and then the new code
twice. The code cannot be changed if the respec-
tive security feature is not in use.
Note: Avoid using codes that are similar to
emergency numbers to prevent acciden-
tal dialing of the emergency number.
PIN code request — On (default) / Off
If you set the PIN (Personal Identity Number)
code request on, the system requests the
code every time the phone interface is turned
on (by pressing ). You can also turn the
PIN code request on or off in the phone inter-
face Security options menu (Menu 5 1). This
setting cannot be changed if the phone inter-
face is switched off.
Note: Some SIM cards do not allow you to turn
the PIN code request off.
IMPORTANT! If you enter the PIN code incor-
rectly three times in a row, you will need a PUK
(PIN Unblocking Key) code to unblock the SIM
card. When the SIM card is blocked, you can-
not make or receive any calls (including faxes,
short messages, e-mail, etc.), except emergen-
cy calls. Otherwise, the communicator can be
used normally. If you misplace or forget your
PIN code, contact your network operator.
Autolock period — Autolock off (default) / 1 / 2 /
5 / 10 / 15 minutes
This setting determines the security time-out
period, after which the system will lock. The
timer is reset by any input, calls or data
transfer/printing activity.
SIM change security – On / Off (default)
When active, this security option checks
whether the SIM card in the communicator
has been changed. The check is made every
time the phone interface is switched on. The
SIM change security option can also be acti-
vated in the phone interface Security options
menu (Menu 5 2).
