inputted when powering on the mobile phone.

The PIN (Personal identification number 4 to 8 digits) code prevents your SIM card from unauthorized use. Once a PIN

lock is enabled, you will need to input the PIN any time the phone is powered on. The SIM card will lock if the PIN

code is inputted incorrectly three consecutive times.

Note: The SIM card will be locked if you input wrong PIN code for three times. To unlock the SIM card, you need to

input the PUK. The PUK code can be obtained directly from the network service operator.

PUK Code

The PUK code (Personal Unlocking Number) is a security feature that locks the phone in the event of unauthorized use

and will be needed in the event of the PIN code being entered incorrectly. Please contact your service provider for the

PUK code. If code is entered incorrectly ten successive times, the SIM card will not be able to be used again. Please

contact your service provider for a new SIM card.
