Set PIN code request
You can activate the PIN code request to prevent unauthorized use of your phone.
If you set the PIN code request to On, your phone will ask for the code each time
you turn the phone on.
Note: When the phone is locked, calls may be possible to the emergency
number programmed into your phone (for example, 911 or other official
emergency number).
1 Press Menu 4-7-1 (Settings > Security settings> PIN code request).

3 Scroll to On and press OK.
To turn off this feature, repeat steps 1-3, scroll to Off, then press OK.
Change your PIN or PIN2 code
You can change your PIN or PIN2 code to any 4- to 8-digit number.
Tip: Activate the PIN code request first.
1 Press Menu 4-7-6 (Settings > Security settings > Change access codes).
2 Scroll to Change PIN code, then press Select.
3 Enter the current PIN code and press OK.
4 Enter the new PIN code and press OK
.
5 Enter the new PIN code again to verify, and press OK.
Note: If you make a mistake while entering the code, Code Error appears.
Start again at step 2 and be careful to enter the correct code. If you enter
the wrong code three times in a row, the PIN code is blocked. To unblock the
PIN code, you need a Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) from your service
provider.
• PUK CODES
The PUK and PUK2 codes are 4-digit to 8-digit codes that usually come from your
service provider along with the SIM card. The PUK code unblocks a blocked PIN
code, and the PUK2 code unblocks a blocked PIN2 code.
If you block your phone, contact your service provider. When you enter the PUK
code given by your service provider, the phone prompts you to enter and then
confirm a new PIN code.
