Access Codes
There are several access codes used by your phone and its SIM card.
These codes help protect the phone against unauthorized use.
When requested to enter any of the codes, enter the code and press
<
Confirm
>.
Except for the PUK and PUK2 codes, access codes can be changed using
the Security menu (see the Security section in “Set Phone” on page 132).
Important! Avoid using access codes that are similar to emergency numbers, such as 911, so
that you do not accidentally dial an emergency number.
Phone Password
The Phone Lock feature allows you to set a password to protect your
phone against unauthorized use. For instructions, see the Security section
in “Set Phone” on page 132.
PIN
The Personal Identification Number or PIN (4 to 8 digits) protects your SIM
card against unauthorized use. It is usually supplied with the SIM card.
If you enter an incorrect PIN three times in succession, the code is disabled
and cannot be used until you re-enable it by entering the PUK (see below).
For instructions on activating or deactivating the PIN Check feature and
changing the PIN, see the Security section in “Set Phone” on page 132.
PUK
The 8-digit PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) is required to change a disabled
PIN.
If a PUK was not supplied with your SIM card, contact your service
provider.
