Access Codes
There are several access codes used by your phone and its SIM card.
These codes help you protect the phone against unauthorized use.
When requested for any of the codes listed below, enter the appropriate
code (displayed as asterisks) and press the Select soft key. If you make a
mistake, press one or more times until the incorrect digit is cleared and
then continue entering the correct code.
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 146).
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 on activating or
deactivating the Phone Lock feature and changing the phone password,
see the Security section in “Set Phone” on page 146.
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 146.
