Access codes

Explanations of the different security codes that may be needed are found below.

PIN code (4 to 8 digits) - The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code protects your SIM card against unauthorized use. The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card.

After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the PIN code is blocked. If the PIN code is blocked, you need to unblock the PIN code before you can use the SIM card again. See the information about the PUK code.

PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits) - The PIN2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is required to access some functions, such as call cost counters.

Lock code (5 digits) - The lock code can be used to lock the phone and keypad to prevent unauthorized use.

Note: The factory setting for the lock code is 12345. To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, change the lock code. Keep the new code secret and in a safe place separate from your phone.

PUK and PUK2 codes (8 digits) - The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) is required to change a blocked PIN code. The PUK2 code is required to change a blocked PIN2 code. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the operator whose SIM card is in your phone for the codes.

You can change the following codes: lock code, PIN code, and PIN2 code. These codes can only include the numbers from 0 to 9.

Pin code request - When the PIN code request is active, the code is requested each time the phone is switched on. Note that deactivating the PIN code request may not be allowed by some SIM cards.

PIN code PIN2 code Lock code - Open this setting if you want to change the code.

Autolock period - You can set an autolock period, a time-out after which the phone is automatically locked and can be used only if the correct lock code is entered. Key in a number for the time-out in minutes or select None to turn off the autolock period. To unlock the phone, key in the lock code.

Lock if SIM changed - Select Yes if you want to phone to ask for the lock code when an unknown new SIM card is inserted into your phone. The phone maintains a list of SIM cards that are recognized as the owner's cards.

Fixed dialing - You can restrict your outgoing calls to selected phone numbers, if supported by your SIM card. You need the PIN2 code for this function. When this function is active, you can only call those phone numbers that are included in the fixed dialing list or which begin with the same digit(s) as a phone number on the list.

To add new numbers to the Fixed dialing list, select Options > New contact or Add from Contacts.

Closed user group (network service) - You can specify a group of people to whom you can call and who can call you. For more information, contact your network operator or service provider. Select Default to activate the default group agreed on with the network operator, On if you want to use another group (you need to know the group index number), or Off.

Confirm SIM services - To set the phone to display confirmation messages when you are using a SIM card service.
