Setting the GPS PIN Security Feature
To prevent your GPS privacy settings from being

access your GPS privacy options.

1. Press / > Settings > Security > GPS PIN.
2. Select On or Off.
3. Enter the current GPS PIN.
4. Press Ok (left softkey).
To change your GPS PIN:
1. Press / > Settings > Security > Change Passwords >
GPS PIN.
2. Enter the current GPS PIN and press Ok (left
softkey).

4. Reenter the new GPS PIN to confirm and then
press
Ok (left softkey).
Java Applications & GPS Security
Some Java applications can make use of your phone’s
GPS feature to determine the approximate
geographical location of your phone. (See “GPS
Enabled” on page 115 for more information on the GPS
feature.) However, for privacy reasons, you may not
always want Java applications to access the location of
your phone. Your phone protects your privacy by giving
you the option to block all or some Java applications
from accessing the location of your phone.
Tip
The default GPS PIN is 0000.
