Code Memo
Instead of having to remember all the different
security codes for credit cards, for example, you
can save them in the code memo in your phone.
Then all you need to remember is the passcode to
open the code memo. You can save a maximum of
10 codes in the code memo.
Checkword And Security
To confirm that you have entered the correct passcode
for the code memo and to prevent unauthorized access
to your codes, you must enter a checkword.
When you enter your passcode to open the code
memo, the checkword is shown for a short time. If
the passcode is correct, the correct codes are shown.
If you enter the incorrect passcode, the checkword
and the codes that are shown are also incorrect.
Factors strengthening the security of the code
memo function are:
• You get no feedback about whether the passcode
is correct, except for the checkword, and only you
know the checkword.
• All codes are encrypted in the phone.
• When you access your codes, they are shown for
a limited time only.
It is important that you remember your new code. If
you should forget it, you will need to bring your phone
in to your local Sony Ericsson retailer.
