Change

.

When calls are limited to closed user groups, calls may

be possible to the official emergency number

programmed into your device.
Define the following settings:

PIN code request

— Select

On

to request that the PIN

code is entered each time the device is switched on.

This setting cannot be changed if the device is

switched off. Some SIM cards do not allow turning

off the PIN code request.

PIN code

— Change the PIN code. The PIN code must

be 4 to 8 numbers long. The PIN code protects your

SIM card against unauthorized use and is provided

with the SIM card. After three consecutive incorrect

PIN code entries, the PIN code is blocked, and you

need to use the PUK code to unblock it before you

can use the SIM card again.

PIN2 code

— Change the PIN2 code. The PIN2 code

must be 4 to 8 numbers long. The PIN2 code is

required to access some functions of the device and

is provided with the SIM card. After three consecutive

incorrect PIN2 code entries, the PIN2 code is blocked,

and you need to use the PUK2 code to unblock it

before you can use the SIM card again.

Autolock period

— Set a time-out after which the

device is automatically locked and can be used only

if the correct lock code is entered. Enter a number for

the time-out in minutes, or select

None

to turn off

the autolock period. When the device is locked, you

can still answer incoming calls and calls may still be

possible to the official emergency number

programmed into your device.

Lock code

— Change the lock code. The new code can

be 4-255 characters long. Both alphabets and digits

can be used, and both uppercase and lowercase

alphabets are possible. The device notifies you if the

lock code is not properly formatted. The preset code

is 12345. To avoid unauthorized use of your device,

change the lock code. Keep the new code secret and

in a safe place separate from your device.

Lock if SIM changed

— Set the device to ask for the

lock code when an unknown, new SIM card is

inserted into your device. The device maintains a list

of SIM cards that are recognized as the owner’s cards.

Allow remote lock

— If you set this option on, you

can lock the device by sending a predefined text

message from another phone. When you set this

option on, you need to enter the remote lock

message and confirm the message. The message

must be at least 5 characters long.

Closed user group

(network service) — Specify a

group of people to whom you can call and who can

call you.

Confirm SIM services

(network service) — Set the

device to display confirmation messages when you

are using a SIM card service.
