PIN control

The PIN is usually requested each time
the phone is switched on. You can deacti­vate this feature but you risk unauthor­ised use of the phone. Some service pro­viders do not permit deactivation of the
control.

You can change the PIN to any 4–8 digit
number you may find easier to remember.

Proceed as with Change PIN.

Change phonecode

You define and enter the phone code
(4–8 digits) when calling a phone code
protected function (e.g. Direct call, p. 5)
for the first time. It is then valid for all
protected functions. If it is entered incor­rectly three times the phone is locked.
Contact the Siemens Service.

Clear SIM card barring

If the PIN is entered incorrectly three
times, the SIM card is barred. Enter the
PUK (MASTER PIN) provided by your serv­ice provider with the SIM card. If the PUK
(MASTER PIN) has been lost, please con­tact your service provider.
