when turned on. In Lock mode, you can answer calls, but you
must unlock the phone to place calls (except to emergency
numbers). (For more information, refer to “Emergency #” on
page 70.)

Change Lock

The Change Lock option lets you replace your phone’s default
lock code (the last four digits of your phone number) with one of
your own choosing.

security purposes.

When you select Change Lock, your are prompted to enter the
current lock code followed by entering your new lock code, and
then re-entering it, for verification.

security reasons. If you change the lock code, be sure to write down or
memorize the new code.

Emergency #

The Emergency # option lets you enter and store up to three
emergency numbers in your phone. Each number can be up to 32
digits long. You can dial your emergency numbers any time, even
when your phone is locked or restricted.

Note: Emergency number 911 is hard-coded into your phone. You can dial

this number any time, even when the phone is locked or restricted. If
you call 911 you will hear audible tone and an Emergency prompt will
appear in the display for the duration of the call.
