Security levels
The security level determines your access to features when a non-owner SIM card
is used. A non-owner SIM card is one (other than the original) that is inserted
after you power off the phone. There are three security levels:
Off—Owner and non-owner cards are treated the same.
Memory—The phone will ask for the security code when the SIM card memory
is selected and you want to change the memory in use or copy from one
memory to another.
Phone—The security code is required whenever a new SIM card is inserted.
Use the following to set your security level.
1 Select Menu > Settings > Security settings > Security level.
2 At the prompt, enter the security code (default 12345), and select OK >
Off, Memory, or Phone.
Access codes
SECURITY CODE
The security code (5–10 digits) controls access to features such as the security
level and is supplied with the phone. The preset code is 12345.
If you enter the wrong security code five times in succession, you will not be able
to enter a code for 5 minutes, even if you power off the phone between
incorrect entries.
Once you change the security code from its preset of 12345, keep the new code
secret and in a safe place separate from your phone. Use this procedure to change
your security code.
1 Select Menu > Settings > Security settings > Access codes > Change
security code.
2 At the prompt, enter the current security code (default 12345), and follow
the prompts.
PIN CODE
Before you can change your PIN code (4–8 digits), you need to enable PIN code
request. See “PIN code request” on page 56.
1 Select Menu > Settings > Security settings > Access codes >
Change PIN code.
2 At the prompt, enter the current PIN code, and follow the prompts.
