4. Protecting the SIM Ca rd an d the Phone

Introduction

The SIM card contains a computer chip that holds information specific to your subscription and the services that you have requested from your network operator.

Card Lock

The card lock protects your SIM card. When you purchase your SIM card, you obtain

a 4- to 8-digit PIN code. PIN stands for Person- al Identification Number.

Each time you turn the phone on, you have to ent e r t h e PIN co de and then pr es s #.

If the wrong PIN is entered three times in succession, the SIM card is blocked. If this happens, refer to chapter 28. Problems You Can Solve.

If your SIM card allows it, you may turn of f the card lock. This is described in chapter 11. The

ACCESS Menu.

The PIN can be changed

If you do not like the original PIN, you may change it to a code you find easy to remember.

How to change the PIN code is described in chapter 11 . The ACCESS Menu.

Should you forget your PIN, you may choose a new PIN by entering a sequence of characters, including your personal unblocking key (PUK) as described in chapter 28. Probl em s

You Can Solve. Refer to the section entit l ed Alternati ve metho d to unblock the SI M card.

PIN2

Some services require that you e nter a second PIN code, the PIN2 code. Also the second PIN code can be changed in the Access menu.

The factory-programmed security code should be changed

The phone is factory-programmed with a 4-digit security code of 0000. To improve security, you should change this to any 4- to 8-digit personalised code.

You should choose your security code carefully. You can, for example, use the same code as your PIN, or another code that you find easy to remember.

How to change the security code is described in chapter 1 1. The ACCESS Menu.

Should you forget your securit y code, you must contact an authorised dealer.

T wo levels of locking

There are two levels of locking the phone:

●

Full Lock

●

Autolock

When the Full Lock is activated, the message Phone locked is displayed briefly, followed by the prompt Enter lock code, each time the phone is turned on. The user then has to enter the security code, followed by #, to be able to use the phone.

When the Autolock is activated, the message Phone locked and t he prompt Enter lock code will not appear until a different SIM card is inserted in the phone. After the security code has been entered correctly, the phone can be used with new SIM card. Not until the original or a different SIM card is inserted in the phone, will the user again be asked to enter the security code.

How to lock the phone is described in chapter 11 . The ACCESS Menu.
